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

I was having trouble with my black inks looking a bit gray or brown so I did some reasearch and this one was listed blackest of the blacks. I’m very pleased with it.

It is so important to use the proper ink when stamping. This ink is intended for use with fine detailed stamps on PAPER. It is permanent, dries fast and is waterproof. You can use blending and coloring pens with Versafine.

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 product actually does what it says. The fine details come through. It works on reg cardstock, stamp paper, over acrylic paint, over spray ink, over shimmer spray, gives you a little more time for embossing too. Has become my go-to black ink. Love it!

Ok everything you’ve heard about this ink...it’s true stays wet long enough to emboss...dries quicker than a pigment only ink but takes a bit longer than dye ink...crisp clear dark black...love! there is a small smell for anyone with MCS but it dissipates quickly...

Enjoying stamping with my ink pad.

This ink is great for more detailed stamps. It is fine enough to show small lines while still showing as a vibrant black. A staple for any crafter.

The best ink for the best detail. I have tried quiet a few of the different big brand names out and this one is by far THE BEST, the blackest too. Worth every penny. If you’re looking for detail and blackness when you stamp look no further.

I saw a review on this ink on youtube and I decided to try it for myself. I got the onyx black ink and it is great! The color is a very rich black and makes really good impressions when using it with word stamps. I started out with Memento Tuxedo Black ink but when I compared the two inks side-by-side, there is not comparison. The lines are really crisp and really saturated. It works great and dries fast. If youre trying to color in images with markers or watercolors you might want to stick with Memento because this ink will smudge/smear. But if you are just using this ink to stamp, its awesome!

This is by far the best ink pad Ive ever used. I just did a bunch of rubber stamp, linoleum, and styrofoam prints and compared them side-by-side. This has a richer, crisper black that looks like real printmaking ink. It dries quickly. I cant recommend it highly enough, especially if you want your images to look like high quality wood cuts. Fine details show up well and theres no bleeding on any of the paper I used. Fantastic!
