Ranger Archival Ink Pad #0, Deep Purple

I was pleased with the color of this inkpad.

These inks are so good! Love this color!

Happy with this stamp for my card stamping

Firstly, my stamp pad came sealed in plastic and fully inked.The first time I tried it, I noticed the ink smeared right after I stamped it. The second time I used it, I gave the ink a few minutes to dry and saw that it didn't smear at all. I have concluded that allowing the ink to dry is the better approach. Following that, I've never had any problems with ink smearing.My only wish was that the pad came with a hinged lid rather than one that comes off. I also understand that a cover that comes off can, and in this case probably does, keep that pad from drying out longer.

I love this color purple and I think this is exactly what I needed for a couple of stamps I just purchased to create musical notes on paper. Thank you for this product. It's just what I needed. Great quality.

Using this for marking golf balls and is not as waterproof as made out. Unfortunately is rubs off but I do understand it was not designed for this application.

I had bought a different brand prior to buying this one, a washable one, and this one worked a lot nicer. It has a nice deep color. I did learn the hard way that you can't really remove this from fabrics if you drop it face down on your sofa....

Bought this for making cards- I may buy larger size pad in future though- nice quality
