Thanks so much for the info ladies.

I have tried just about everything I can think of with these stamps and still can't get a good image. I have the big purple see dee's stamping mat, I've also tried a harder surface as well, still no use. So I think I'll go with the eazi-mount idea, I always clean and trial stamp my stamps before mounting anyway, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem ( I hope image), I also have the stamp 'scrubby' which I use all the time to clean my stamps as well, so hopefully with this combination everything wilol work out much better ( I hope)imageimage

I'll keep you posted on the results,
Thanks again for your help,image
