Dye ink
Dye ink has the following properties:
- most often comes on a felt pad (and in some cases on a foam pad)
- is see-through, which means that
- ink layers will mix, so if you stamp a big image in blue and then a smaller red image on top, the smaller image will appear to be purple
- it won't show up on black or dark card stock
- it will change colors depending on the paper below (whether that's colored paper or paper that has another stamped image on it)
- can be used for ink blending
- often water-soluble so suited to use as watercolor paint
- will become a bit lighter and more even when drying (so right after stamping the color may appear a bit darker and a bit blotchy or uneven)
- might bead up on your stamps, but you can prime your stamps to help prevent this
- might stain your clear stamps (especially colors containing red), but this does not affect how well your stamps will work
