Clear Stamps one of the most commonly using stamps these days. Clear stamps are also known acrylic or clear acrylic stamps. Two or three types of materials are used in manufacturing of Clear stamps. However there is always a question arise while purchasing an acrylic stamp that is the stamp good or not. There is always a hard battle between High qualities versus bad quality clear acrylic stamps.

Quality of clear stamping can be distinguished by knowing which material is used while manufacturing these stamps. Stamps are manufactured with polymer or photopolymer considered as high quality stamps. And the stamps manufactured with vinyl and silicone, are known as low quality stamps. Polymers stamps are even sometimes hear them as clear rubber stamps.

Using acrylic stamps, the very common complaints registered by the customers that they turn yellow after some with the passing of time. Loose its shape, Image also not stamping well because they dont ink as well. Mostly time they lose the tackiness as well. These are the most common problems that customers facing and complaining about this. But these problems are not with every clear stamping die. Only a die manufactured with vinyl or silicone has these issues. Vinyl or silicone material is basically low in quality for stamping but cheaper then polymer or photopolymer (actually the same thing) material which is much expensive than silicone.These issues associated with only those stamps which are manufactured with silicon or vinyl.

While talking to Photo polymer stamps, they are the best acrylic die stamping material to be manufactured. Dies made of polymer are high in quality, Photo polymer clear stamps own a long life then a silicon/vinyl dies. Many people compare clear stamps with rubber stamps; however its not easy to make a comparison between these two, a clear or a rubber stamp. Photo polymer clear stamps are high in quality and retain its quality till last. It doesnt lose its stickiness, having ability to resist yellow color. The ability to handle ink is designed same as in rubber stamps that makes photo polymer for superb in ink. This photo polymer acrylic die is also used by engineers for ink transfer.

So the main question arises here is that how can you distinguished between these two. How to know is the die is bad or a good one, or we can say, a die is manufactured with silicon/vinyl or by photo polymer. Its not easy to say because both are same by look. Because its never marked anywhere in die that, a die manufactured with photo polymer or manufactured with silicon/vinyl. Only few of them will mention in the back of die on the wrapper who is using photo-polymer or in the website of the die maker. But not all of manufactured companies are doing this.

Silicon/vinyl are usually cheap and can be available in very cheap rates as compare to photo polymer clear stamps. You can also identify them with their rates. Also image on low quality clear stamps is low or thin while polymer stamps owns a deep etched image same as in rubber stamps.

Another way to recognize a silicon or vinyl stamps that silicon/vinyl stamp are not well in clear block. Either its too soft or its too hard to adhere. And also if the stamps are very difficult to remove or get it off from its clear block, might it be a silicon acrylic stamp.

These are all the best tips to identify the best clear stamps in between bad clear stamps. Go with these tips and buy photo polymer clear stamps for remarkable job. For more details please visit: http://www.mftstamps.com/clear-stamps
