As you know I have some pens arriving ready for moving back to the UK in December
and here they are..
Are they not nice...lol.
Anyway.. I have question for those of you that use these kind of pens ie copic's, promarkers
I have been reading on the internet that you need special ink for your stamps !!
Now I am confused once again.. I know it' easy to do so..but come on...
I have Versafine ink pad... now is this suitable for colouring with my new pens?
Will it run when I use my pens??
Is there a specific brand I should buy for using stamps with these pens ???
PLEASE PLEASE could someone advise
I have been googling,
Some people heat set the ink !!!!
some say Memento !!!
I have read a lot that stazon is not good at all..
So as you can see.. am now not sure what I need
Also...as an after thought...(from Paul)
Will they dissolve the image from just printing via the PC..ie, digi Images.
Anyway any help and advise will read over and over again, before I order some ink pads..
(for my UK stock..lol)
Thank you so much in advance, and sorry to be SUCH a pain
Hugs Claire xx
Oh and I have more post's to do.... so you will be bored of me soon

Hi Claire, Stazon is a No...it is solvent based the same as the pens and the two together reconstitue the ink and cause it to bleed/run. I have used it once or twice when it was the only stamp pad suitable for the surface I was using but I left it over night to dry and was very gentle with the colouring - even then it still bleed a bit.
I use Memento in Tuxedo Black as it was the stamp pad that was recommended to me. I have used a grey Versafine pad for a softer image but I wasn't colouring everything in - just a few little bits - so I'm not sure how it would stand up to a lot of colouring.
I know a lot of folk 'heat set' their stamped images but to be honest I've never found it necessary.
I have a HP750 printer/scanner/copier and I haven't had any problems with colouring images that I have printed on it.
Hope this is of some help.

Hi Claire...I haven't been on the computer for a while now but saw your post for help and had to answer.
I have printed off images and coloured them just fine. I also use Memento ink but have also used some of the SU inks and they don't bleed either.
Hope this helps.
