1. Print stamp copy on vellum. Secure clear acetate film over the vellum.	2. Place vellum on glass of flash unit. Copy should be right reading.	3. Place porous foam over vellum and position in alignment box. Note: there are two sides to the foam.
4. Place pressing plate over stamp die. The pressing plate has two bearers to insure proper pressure when flashing. Bearers must face down.	5. Lower lid of flash unit, Grab bar with both hands and pull down in a steady, even motion. Release handle following the burst of light.	6. Remove the stamp and peel die from the clear film.
7. Components necessary for product assembly.	8. Remove the trim ring from mount. Place "flashed" porous foam die into trim ring (impression facing down).	9. Massage the bag before removing ink cartridge to ensure even ink distribution.
10. IMPORTANT: Cut the ink bag on two sides and peel back the edges for easy removal. If excess ink is visible on the edges, wipe all edges on paper.	11. Place the ink cartridge on top of porous foam. Allow excess ink to dissipate from top of ink cartridge before completing assembly (suggested time for soft foam is 10-15 minutes).	12. WIth the mount in the palm of your hand, pull up on the outside of the mount with your thumb and middle finger so the inside and outside of the mount are flush.
13. Position the mount at a 45 degree angle over the trim ring. Slide the trim ring into the mount and press down to snap into place.	14. Turn the mount over. Press down and in on trim ring where clips snap into the mount to ensure trim ring is secure. NOTE: Larger mount sizes require more pressure to secure trim rings.	15. Press down on the mount as if you are making an impression to further ink migration. Turn mount so impression side is facing up during the inking process.
16. After ink migration, make label. Place label on top of handle and snap in clear lens cover. Stamp is complete.
