The rubber is often mounted onto a more stable object such as a wood, brick or an acrylic block. Temporary stamps with simple designs can be carved from a potato. The ink coated rubberstamp is pressed onto any type of medium such that the colored image is transferred to the medium. The medium is generally some type of fabric or paper. Other media used are wood, metal, glass, plastic, rock. High volume batik uses liquid wax instead of ink on a metal stamp. Commercially available rubber stamps fall into three categories: stamps for use in the office, stamps used for decorating objects or those used as children’s toys.
