Product Information
Full details
The Memento Dew Drop Ink Pad in Danube Blue is designed for card makers, scrapbookers, and artists who require precision stamping and fade-resistant, vibrant color. It excels at capturing intricate details on both coated and uncoated papers, though users should note that as a dye-based ink, it is best suited for porous surfaces and is not intended for heat-embossing or glossy, non-porous plastics.

FAQs
Can I use Memento Danube Blue on glossy paper?
It performs best on coated or matte papers; it may smear or stay wet for an extended period on high-gloss or plastic-coated surfaces.
Is this ink waterproof?
Memento is a dye-based ink and is generally not considered waterproof. If you plan to color over the stamped image with markers, allow it to dry completely first.
Can I use this for heat embossing?
No, this ink dries too quickly to hold embossing powder. Use a pigment ink or a dedicated embossing ink instead.
How do I clean this ink off my stamps?
A standard stamp shammy or a water-based stamp cleaner will effectively remove the ink.
Does the ink contain acid?
No, the Memento Dew Drop ink line is acid-free, making it safe for scrapbooking.
Troubleshooting
Stamp impression is faint or patchy
Ensure you are using the correct paper type. If the paper is too textured, the ink may not transfer evenly. Alternatively, the pad may need re-inking.
Ink is smearing on the paper
Although Memento is fast-drying, verify that you are not applying too much pressure or using a paper that is non-porous.
Ink pad surface feels dry
Store the pad upside down for 30 minutes to allow the ink to settle at the surface, or apply a few drops of Memento re-inker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Memento Dew Drop ink pad, store it with the lid snapped securely shut to prevent the pad from drying out. When stamping, ensure the surface is clean and dry for the sharpest results.
Compatibility:
- Best surfaces: Cardstock, vellum, matte photo paper, and patterned paper.
- Cleaning: Use a stamp cleaner or mild soap and water to remove ink from your rubber or photopolymer stamps immediately after use.
- Re-inking: If the pad begins to lose intensity, use a compatible Memento ink re-inker to refresh the sponge surface.
