Who makes Colorbox ink?
What is the difference between pigment ink and dye ink pads?
Pigment ink is thicker and richer than dye-based ink; the consistency is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink; instead, it dries on top.
What ink do you use for clear stamps?
Thicker, richer ink is perfect for use with Clear Stamps, providing excellent coverage. Instant Dry Pigment ink like VersaFine™ by Tsukineko® or VersaFine Clair™ by Tsukineko® are ideal for use with clear stamps. They will dry on porous surfaces and can be watercolored without embossing or heating.
How do you reload a chalk ink pad?
For pigment pads you can add pure glycerin to the ink pad (work it in with an old credit card or plastic spoon) to get it moist again, a couple drops of rubbing alcohol can also be added to loosen up old dried ink.
What is a pigment ink pad?
This ink pad allows you to add vibrant colors or stylish embossing to paper crafts and art projects. Perfect for use with your favorite stamps or embossing powders, this pigment-based ink is slow drying, so you have time and flexibility to be as creative as you want.
What’s the difference between pigment and dye ink pads?
Whereas dye inks are more “liquid” and transparent, pigment inks are opaque and thick. Pigment inks almost always come with a spongy foam pad to enable the ink to be picked up easily by the stamp. Because it’s a thicker ink these pads dry out faster than dye inks and need to be refilled more often.
