Ranger Archival Ink Cleaner-2oz

Always has been a reliable product for cleaning rubber stamps without drying them out.

Best archival ink cleaner always have two or three bottles on hand

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 works fairly well for cleaning stamps and stamping tools. It does a good job removing the actual ink, which is what matters most for me. I have not had issues with old colors transferring onto new projects after cleaning, so it is doing what I need it to do in that sense. It does not completely remove staining, but I have not found anything that really does. Some stamps seem to stain more than others depending on the material and the type of ink used. One thing I like is that it works across different types of ink. It can be used with water-based, permanent, pigment, and solvent inks, which makes it practical if you use a mix of products. It is also non-toxic and safe to use on both rubber and clear stamps. The bottle is 2 oz, and the formula is acid-free, which is helpful for preserving stamping tools and materials. For basic cleaning and regular use, it has been effective and easy to work with. What I like: • Removes ink well across different ink types • Helps prevent color transfer between projects • Non-toxic and safe for rubber and clear stamps • Acid-free formula • Easy to use for regular cleaning Things to be aware of: • May not remove deeper staining • Results can vary depending on the stamp material and ink type • The bottle is small, so frequent users may go through it faster Overall: A practical cleaner that does its job for everyday stamp cleaning. It removes ink effectively, even if some staining remains.

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.

Received as advertised

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.

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.
