Answer 1

there isnt anything you can do, the only damage is that ur stamp will be the same color as the permanent ink. it will be fine. dont worry about anything

Answer 2

Stazon makes a cleaner for their ink.  It will clean your rubber stamp.  But really, as long as the built up ink is off of the rubber, you should be able to use your stamp with any other ink or color you like.  The cleaner is more for looks than anything else.  I never worry about it because I believe my stamps like to be well loved.  

Answer 3

Staz On makes a cleaner for their ink.  

Or you can try using a yellow ink pad from Stampin' Up.  I have never been able to completely remove stazon from my stamps using the yellow ink pad, but I have been able to get most of it off.

however, it shouldn't affect your stamping image.  As long as it doesn't, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I have one ink pad totally dedicated to being my stazon cleaner.  just rub the stamp across the ink pad gently several times.  Lots of black ink will stay on the yellow pad.  Stamp off the yellow image until there is no yellow left and then repeat the process as many times as you feel necessary.  

This works much better if you are able to clean the stamp as soon as you are done with it.

If your stazon pad is running out of ink, I *think* they sell a reinker as well.  Just a few drops from the reinker bottle into the ink pad and you're good as new.  The problem might also be that you are just not putting enough pressure on the stamp when you are stamping your image.  If it is a large image or an image with lots of details or even a flat image (lots of flat rubber space to stamp)  make sure you press firmly into the ink pad and then firmly onto the paper.  For very large images, I put both hands on the stamp and stand up to apply pressure.

another problem could also be if you are waiting a few seconds too long between inking your stamp and then stamping the image.  To make sure your ink is still wet enough to stamp well, simply huff on the stamped image to rewet your ink.
