Ranger Archival Ink Cleaner 2oz

I was looking for an easy but effective way to clean my BetterPress plates and this Ranger dauber is easy to use, works well, no stinky solvent smells, and no damage to the plates or my stamping platform. A little goes a long way and at this price it was an excellent investment.

Very nice and thorough cleaner. I was also impressed by the very slight pleasant scent it has. Doesn't smell at all of alcohol like other cleaners.

This is a great product. I wish I had found it sooner! It removes most of the ink from your stamps and is great for the stamps that don’t stick to your acrylic blocks anymore. It cleans them up and they will stick again.

This is an essential item for people who enjoy rubber stamping. I didn’t know about the importance of a stamp cleaner until I found some of my rubber stamps are not stamping well. They were not clear and won’t stick to any ink, causing a bad result from stamping. I then googled ways to solve this problem and came across several articles that emphasize the importance of using an ink remover solution. After researching for some time, I decided to get this brand, the same brand for my ink pad.I have used this for almost a year now and am very satisfied with it. Just a note: If your stamp is too old (never cleaned), you may want to find some videos to see if it is possible to restore a vintage stamp. I have a couple of stamps like that, I used very fine sandpaper to remove the stubborn inks before I proceed to the steps below. Steps for using the cleaner solution (1) dab your stamp on a wet paper towel- this is to remove the 1st layer of the ink, and to avoid dirty your cleaner pad (2) lightly press the cleaner head directly, and then use a Q-tip or cotton swab, apply some cleaner solution evenly on your stamp (3) wait for a few minutes to dissolve the ink particles (4) dab and remove the cleaner solution with a clean wet paper towel; if you want to be extra careful, use a clean and wet Q-tip or cotton swab to clean the stamp thoroughly (5) let it dry before keeping it in your drawer. This is a good cleaner and I hope the above is helpful to you.

The instructions clearly say to DAUB the liquid on the stamps, but it is easy to forget and use the applicator to scrub. The dauber is easy to mess up. I was able to fix mine, but l don't know how long it will work. This cleaner effectively removed the stickiness of Ranger permanent ink from the stamps, but the stain did not come off. Overall, it dies what it says to get the stamps clean so they can be used again. No bad smell. Residue can be removed with soapy water.

Works great on cleaning ink stamps!

As expected.

I had a lot of old stamps I was converting to cling stamps and a lot of them had layers of ink caked on them that had been there for at least 8 years. I didn't think I was going to get all the ink off but hoped to get most of it off. I was surprised at how well this cleaner x worked. Most of them came clean right away. With the stubborn ones, I sprayed a generous amount on and let them sit for a few hours. Then lightly brushed them with a toothbrush. It took some time but they did come clean. I also noticed that it conditioned the stamps as well. I had some that were hard and on the verge of cracking. After brushing them for a few seconds, they were pliable and just like new. I read that the applicator was poor so I bought a 2oz. Spray bottle and it was easy to apply. One 2oz. bottle cleaned a 32gal tub of stamps.
