Many of you have asked, what is fusion ink?
It is a fusion between pigment and dye ink and creates the most amazing impression with your stamps. It looks like a regular stamp pad, but the product is quite different.
Let’s talk ink in general...
Dye Inks are permanent and translucent and have a thin consistency
like water so they tend to dry quickly. You can’t color in dye based
stamped images with paint, markers, pens or other water-based
mediums because the ink will run together. You can, however, use colored
pencils. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, however the color fades over time,
especially in sunlight. Dye inks have a felt-based stamp pad. Ink pads should be
stored upside-down to keep the ink on the surface of the pad.
Pigment Inks are opaque and have a thicker, richer consistency than dye-based ink and take longer
to dry. Pigment inks are usually brighter and more vibrant and are fade-resistant. They are perfect to
use with heat embossing powders to create a glossy effect. Pigment inks have a foam-based stamp
pad. Ink pads are usually very juicy so should be stored right side up so you don’t get an inky mess.
With our True Color Fusion Inks you have the best of the two worlds. Our ink
pads have the vibrant ink and archival features of pigment and the ease of
use and fast drying characteristics of dye inks. True Color Fusion Inks are fade
resistant and acid-free. This combination makes our ink pads the best on the
market today.
True Fusion Color Inks will become permanent when stamped on glass, fabric, wood, plastic, metal
and clay when heat set.

Care and Use of Fusion Ink
I've been using fusion ink pads on all projects posted to this blog since the end of May. I could not be happier! No sagging in the middle with larger stamps, no lines or inconsistencies with reinking, you do not have to store them upside down, they are really quite perfect and I know you will love them!

ReplyDeleteI was so surprised that you weren't there, KT. I was hoping to see you. Will be in Sacramento on the 18th if you're feeling like a road trip.
