I was wondering what inks the group would recommend? It seems like the "color box" pads I use bead up on my stamps. I'm using the speedball pink stuff as a medium. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a better ink product? I'd just hate to take the time to carve a stamp, hide a box, and post clues only to have the finder get a junky stamp image.
Thanks!

I have been using a "Fresco" chalk finish dye inkpad.
I have had it for a few months and used it with no problems.
But the last few times I have used it the ink seems to be bubbling on my
stamp .
I am wondering if it could be
the humidity ?

i have been into the rubber stamping hobby for many years and the only stamp
pads i use now come from Stampin' Up. so far i've been pleased with their
result with the homemade eraser stamps often found in letterboxes, too. you
can often find them on ebay, or through various websites. they are not sold
at stores -- it's a home party type of business.

I was wondering what inks the group would recommend? It seems like the
"color box" pads I use bead up on my stamps. I'm using the speedball pink
stuff as a medium. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a better
ink product? I'd just hate to take the time to carve a stamp, hide a box,
and post clues only to have the finder get a junky stamp image.

try a dye-based ink....the color box are a pigment ink....pigment ink
takes forever to dry and bleeds thru on thin paper.....
i do not know how it would work with the pink carving material
tho...i have used the grey carving stuff when ive ATTEMPTED to carve
(it didnt work) and i used dye based ink with it and it seemed to
work fine...i use store bought stamps and i dont think ive ever had
the pigment ink bead up on me.(i could be wrong)......
hope u find a suitable ink.....

I agree with another poster -- sounds like you're using pigment-based
ink. I've had this happen to me with pigment based but never with dye
based.
I'm using the speedball pink stuff as a medium.
I've had the beading and clumping happen with pigment-based ink on the
pink stuff, on erasers, and on PZ Cut. It's the pigment in the ink,
not the carving material, IMHO.
But I wouldn't stop using pigment-based pads. Maybe you'd want to use
them when you do the initial stamp in the logbook of a box you're
placing, but maybe you'd rather box with a dye-based pad. That's the
method I often use. The stamp images from the pigment-based inks are,
IMO, lovelier looking.

Another thing you may want to try if your stamp has large black
spaces, which is where ink tends to bead up and adhere less the
perfect, is to very gently go over the black areas with a fine
sandpaper after you have finished carving. This will get rid of the
shiney surface and the ink will take better. Just be really careful
when using sandpaper on an already carved stamp, especially if there
is fine detail.
