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
