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

This ink provides crisp, clean lines and is easy clean up.

I love love LOVE this ink! This is the second black ink pad Ive purchased and itll likely be the last because its just perfect! Very crisp, fast dry time (unless its vellum- then I add clear embossing powder and heat set- but ink on vellum takes forever to dry in general) and best of all, it doesnt stick to acrylic stamps! I had another brand of in that literally ruined several of my acrylic stamps- by ruined I mean, turned them black for all time, so theyre still useable, just not nearly as pretty and when the whole darn stamp is opaque, it takes away the handy-ness of having see-through stamps to begin with! However, with this ink, it seems to wipe right off with little or no leftovers on your stamp (yay!). I would highly recommend this black ink- it would be a great addition to any ink collection!

Gets the details

Best black ink ever. It’s the only one I ever use. Very dark black

Im a planner girl. I started stamping with VersaMagic chalk ink, and quickly found out that I didnt like it. I needed something that was a little cleaner and produced more crisp images. I was repeatedly referred to VersaFine, so I fine-ally (see what I did there) gave in and tried it. It is so much better and easier to use, and the images are so clear, even intricate detail on small stamps. I use a PPP and dont get bleed through, although there is a bit of shadowing, especially if you press hard, but its not enough to be a problem. I also use this for card stamping and it works great.

Enjoying stamping with my ink pad.

Great ink comes out great first time around

I have really nice stamps and cheap stamps. I used whatever brand ink pads but the stamps didn’t come out clear and sometimes created areas that were blank that I had to draw over with a pen. This ink is amazing. It shows all the lines even fine detail in the stamps. It makes such a difference. I am going to order the smaller black onyx for travel. This really gave my stamps so much life!

I make cards and this ink works very well with all stamps. Nice crisp image. It is a waterproof pigment ink so it does take a little bit longer to dry than a dye ink. I love this ink! It is a little expensive but worth it.

I bought this stamp pad to use for making cards and custom designed, hand made invitations. It is oil-based so that water color and other art techniques don’t smear it, and it’s been fantastic! Will definitely purchase again, and highly recommend!
