Tsukineko VF000082 Full-Size VersaFine Instant Dry Pigment Ink, Onyx Black

Very crisp clear stamping.

I’m a beginner stamper, so I don’t have much to compare it to. But so far I’m pleased. I use cheaper clear stamps. Nice crisp image for detailed flowers and butterflies. Dries quickly on the papers I’ve used so far. Cleans off fingers and nails fairly easily. No bleed-thru yet, except in very, very thin paper. Quite a bit of ghosting, but that’s not an issue for the type of stamping I do. Currently using only black, but I’m pleased enough to start looking into trying other colors.

It works.

Love VersaFine, it is a staple in my craft room and my go-to for sentiments. Crisp, clear images every time.

I purchased this ink for use with a bookplate stamp and it works very well for that application. The stamp itself was custom made and using this ink pad with it really makes the impressions look as if they are part of the book itself. I like how the ink stays above the paper and does not bleed into the paper as non pigment ink does. Highly recommended.

This inkpad is beautiful, but it doesnt actually dry all that fast, at least not on absorbent paper. I am stamping the backs of little photos printed on a matte card-stock-type paper, tried it out on one last night and it seemed to be great, perfect details and quick drying... until this morning when I touched it to see if it had actually totally dried and little droplets of ink came off on my fingers. Luckily its dried to the point of not being smeary, but that was a disappointment, because I dont know just how long it will take if overnight was not enough. It is a huge improvement over regular pigment inkpads in terms of drying though!

I’ve used others but this is the best by far. Super clean, detailed images. The more detailed stamps give the best results with this ink.

This ink works perfecting for intricate and detailed stamps. Other inks Ive tried end up blurring the fine lines, but this one shows up crisp and perfect, as long as you use a very light hand. The pad is very saturated, so you dont need to press much too ink your stamp,if you do, it will pool over and you wont get that crisp design.
