Application and audience

For pottery, polymer clay, air-dry clay and personalizing pieces before drying or firing.

The kit contains 26 uppercase letters, 26 lowercase letters, 10 numbers and 18 symbols. The top character helps identify the stamp; the stamping face is mirrored to create correctly oriented impressions in clay.

Operation and assembly

  1. Choose your characters and test them on a scrap of the same clay first.
  2. Hold the stamping face perpendicular to the surface and apply even pressure without rocking.
  3. Lift the stamp straight away and remove clay from the details before it dries.

Printing information

  • PLA is a starting point for general use.
  • Use a 0.16 mm layer height or finer, and print one test stamp before the complete set.
  • A contrasting top color is optional; AMS is not required for the stamp to work.

Care and use

Work with soft clay before drying or firing. Test consistency, pressure and depth on a scrap of the same clay.

Project questions

Do I need multicolor printing?

No. A contrasting color helps identification, but the stamps work in a single color.

How do I clean them?

Use water, mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid excessive heat and dishwashers for PLA parts.
