Thanks for the great tip Dawn! Do you sand each time you stamp or is a "one time" thing?

Hi Dawn :-)
I use my "Adhesive Remover Eraser" for this. No residue from from the sanding block or worry that you will ruin your stamp if you get a little heavy handed. I get a crisp image everytime.
Just wanted to share this with you and all who visit your blog.
Have a Great Weekend!

I also use an eraser! I just use a plain clean white eraser and it works awesome! I think what it does is takes away the static!

Kewl! I "huff" on my inked stamp to help with this problem. However, there's usually a spot or two that's missing ink so I've taken to using my Blender Pen and very lightly "fill-in" the missing inked area. I like your idea better. Gonna' give it a try real soon.
