Memento is a Dye ink, a fast-drying ink that does not fade with good coverage. The ink can also be used on glossy paper. The stamp pad has a sturdy felt base with a tightly woven fabric top, which does not fray when used directly on paper. It is a water-based ink which makes it suitable for coloring images with water and a brush.
Stazon ink is a solvent-based ink, this means it is not water soluble, also it is colorfast, waterproof and scratch-resistant. The ink is specially designed to be used on semi-porous and non-porous substrates. Metal, Shrink plastic, plastic sheet, aluminum foil, leather and glass are no problem for this versatile ink. The ink can be easily removed with the special Stazon Cleaner. The metallic versions of the Stazon ink contain an ink that is quite thick, somewhat viscous. These stamp boxes come uninked in a package with an inker and a mini Squeegee. Apply the ink with a few drops, not too many because the ink takes a while to soak into the stamp pad. Spread the ink over the pad with the Squeegee.
Versamagic is a chalk pigment ink that dries on all types of cardstock including dark colors. A soft, opaque, chalky look without being powdery like chalk.
With beautiful pastel colors and earth tones that give a matte look, this is a perfect ink for stamping techniques, processing with mask stencils and for direct use on paper. They are available in large format, dew drops and inkers.
Brilliance Dew Drops inks provide a rich palette of beautiful bright primary colors to pearlescent and rich metallic colors. In a compact design with a convenient narrow taper, to a round wider taper. All pads are stand-alone, as well as stackable.
Delicata is a metallic gold or silver ink that does not dull or lose its luster. Beautiful metallic results without embossing. Paper can be colored with Delicata ink and is waterproof. To get the best shine, air dry, not with a heat tool.
Versamark is a special somewhat sticky to the touch colorless ink that is perfect for use in combination with embossing powder and a heat tool. In combination with embossing powder, it can also be used on many types of paper. Chalk also adheres to Versamark, apply it with a dauber to color an image. In addition, a watermark effect can be created with it, stamp on paper and the ink dries a shade darker, for a beautiful subtle background. Since Dye ink does not adhere to Versamark, it can be used for resist techniques with a brayer, for example. Versamark is available in a large and small version.
Versafine ink is an exception among Pigment inks, the ink pad is of firm felt with a layer of fabric over it instead of spongy. This is due to the composition of the ink and because the ink is oil-based. Versafine is very suitable for stamping very fine details on matte and untreated paper and dries very quickly. This ink does not run during coloring with markers and watercolor techniques. Due to this unique composition of this ink, it lasts 3-5 times longer than other ink pads, inkers are therefore not necessary. The fliptop lid folds under the inkpad for easy inking.
The VersaColor series consists of beautifully matched water-based colors. VersaColor ink is slower-drying and more opaque than a dye-ink; because it dries more slowly, it is ideal for embossing. The inkpads have a raised surface that makes even the largest stamps easy to use.
An ink suitable for use on porous substrates and specially developed for use on textiles and leather. Due to its drying time, it is also suitable for heat embossing, even on smooth papers. Ink is water-based, slow-drying and a versatile ink. Especially suitable for use on porous surfaces, such as fabric, leather, and wood. Also suitable for non-porous materials such as: paper and porcelain. Note: loss of detail may occur on paper. When stamping on fabric, it is recommended to wash the fabric first. The print can be permanently fixed by ironing.

What is solvent-based ink?
Solvent-based ink is also called solvent ink. Solvent ink is often alcohol-based.

The disadvantage of this ink is that the color sticks to the stamp and then can only really be cleaned with stamp cleaner.
