This is what happens when you try to use texture plates as a stamp! Not much!!

Another use of texture plates is to use them as a reverse stamp. They don’t make good stamps in the classic sense, because the ridges are not all the same height. Therefore, when you try to apply ink to them, you end up with little dots on your paper instead of the pattern. However, if you place the texture plate underneath thin paper and press the inkpad down onto the paper from the top, you’ll get a much better texture impression.
