Self-inking stamps have a built-in ink pad. A patented spring device automatically re-inks the die with your image between each impression. In slow motion, you can watch the rubber stamp as it flips up and then down against the ink pad ? with each impression. In general our self-inking stamps use a water-based ink.

Any residue or stain left will fade in a short amount of time.

There are a few possibilities. There is not enough ink, the temperature is too cold but the most probable is that the porous foam and the ink cartridge are not in full contact with each other. When these two components are not in full contact the ink is not transferring over the entire available surface. This means the ink needs to migrate from other areas sideways thus increasing the migration time.
