resolution) will print artwork with white flecks in the solid black. This will allow light to pass through the black areas and your stamp will end up being solid.
To make laser artwork printed some laser printers and photocopiers dark enough, follow these simple steps:
Soak a cloth with White Spirit and wipe it once over the printed side of your artwork. A little black may come off on the cloth. Do not wipe it too hard or with a dry cloth or you will remove too much black. Run a hot air gun (not a hair dryer) over the surface of the artwork to flare off the white spirit, if you hold it too close you will melt the plastic. The surface should now look shiny and the black and will be dark enough to make stamps with.
Some new laser printers are not affected by white spirit and cannot be enhanced.
If you do not have a laser or an ink jet printer then just photocopy your design onto the imageblack laser sheets using a standard photocopier. Then follow the instructions given above for wiping with white spirit and heating with a hot air gun.
