Rubber stamping is also called stamping. It is a craft in which some type of ink made of dye or pigment is applied to an image or pattern that has been carved, molded, laser engraved or vulcanized, onto a sheet of rubber. The rubber is often mounted onto a more stable object such as a wood or an acrylic block to produce a more solid instrument.
The medium is generally some type of fabric or paper. Other mediums used are wood, metal, glass, plastic and rock. High volume batik uses liquid wax instead of ink on a metal stamp. Commercially available rubber stamps fall into three categories viz stamps for use in the office, stamps used for decorating objects or those used as children's toys. |
