| + | * [[Black ink]] |
| − | Hybrid inks are something between pigment and dye inks. They usually have a faster drying time than pigment ink, but a slower drying time than dye inks.
| + | * [[White ink]] |
| − | Black hybrid inks are very suited for stamping sentiments, because they have a solid color, are good for fine details and don't take too long to dry.

Regular stamping ink comes in a few different forms and next to stamping can also be used for ink blending or other techniques.
Below are the most common properties of the different inks listed, but keep in mind that there are variations and combinations of types of inks too.
Ranger has the Distress line, which has its own two types of ink
Because black and white are two separate stories, they have their own pages
