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

I ordered this ink pad to use with a calendar stamp to place a date stamp on the backside of photos. The primary reason I bought this pad was the description of the item as instant dry as I didnt want the ink stamp on the back side of a photo to stain the frontside of the photo when the photos were stacked. After stamping a hundred or so photos I noticed that the stamped date was clearly not dry. I then set the photos out for over a week but the stamping was still not dry. I had to blot each date with tissue paper multiple times. If this is a major issue for you I would not buy this product. I have had better luck with a Carters stamp pad, but you still need to be careful to lightly press your stamp on the pad so that the print is relatively light, but still dark enough to be legible. The Carter product generally dries over night. I FEEL THAT THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS PRODUCT IS EXTREMELY MISLEADING.

Doesn’t smear! Great product!

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!

This pad is the best I’ve used and I have tried many. It’s crisp and black, covers stamp well but not so much that you lose detail. You do have to allow a few seconds for it to dry on the paper. It’s the perfect pad which I will use exclusively from now on.

This ink is very good quality and holds up to standards and I will be buying again

It was easy to use and application was crisp and clear

I bought these through an affiliate planner link on youtube. Id tried stamping with clear stamps before and it just always came out a mess. I had no idea what was wrong until I found this ink! Nobody told me the difference between pigment ink and dye ink and this brand is awesome! I have 2 smaller ink pads I purchased from the dollar store but those have little color pay-off and never look nearly as sharp.

Love it. Great ink for stamping

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.

I am loving this Versafine Ink! My other black ink pad from another manufacturer just would not stamp clearly, at all. This Versafine was suggested to me and I will not use any other black ink now. It produces clear and sharp images. I also purchesed the Versafine refill ink for when I need it. Great product!
