What exactly is a rubber stamp?
It is to be noted that a rubber stamp is not completely made of rubber. It is actually a beautifully made craft or design or pattern which is molded, carved , engraved or vulcanized on to a rubber sheet , on which some ink is applied. Any design stamped onto surfaces is actually imprinted first into the rubber sheet having raised surfaces and this rubber is attached to a base commonly made of wood. Plastic and foam bases are also used.
The ink made of any dye or pigment when applied on the rubber stamp and pressed onto any type of medium, which can be a fabric or paper, we see the colored image on the surface. In other words, the colored image on the rubber stamp is transferred to the medium.
