Product Information
Full details
The Memento Dew Drop Dye Ink Pad in London Fog is the ideal choice for card makers, scrapbookers, and stationery enthusiasts who prioritize crisp, detailed impressions and quick-drying results. It excels at providing even, high-quality coverage on a wide variety of paper types, including vellum and coated stocks. While it offers exceptional clarity and durability for fine art and stamping projects, users should note that the dew drop design, while convenient for spot-stamping, may require more effort to ink up larger, solid stamps compared to full-sized rectangular ink pads.

FAQs
Is this ink waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it holds up well to light moisture and won't easily smear once dry, but it is not intended for heavy aquatic exposure.
Can I use this for embossing?
No, this is a fast-drying dye ink and will dry too quickly to hold embossing powder.
Is the ink acid-free?
Yes, Memento inks are acid-free, making them safe for archival scrapbooking projects.
Can I use this on fabric?
This ink is designed for paper surfaces. It will likely fade or bleed if used on fabric.
How do I know when to re-ink the pad?
If you notice your stamped impressions are becoming lighter or require more pressure to achieve a solid color, it is time to use a re-inker.
Troubleshooting
Ink looks faint or blotchy on the stamp
Ensure you are using a light tapping motion to ink the stamp instead of pressing too hard, which pushes ink away from the stamp surface.
Ink is drying out in the pad
Check that the cap is fully sealed. If it remains dry, add a few drops of Memento London Fog re-inker and allow it to absorb for a few hours.
Ink is smearing on paper
You may be applying too much ink, or the paper used is non-porous (like glossy photo paper). Ensure you are using paper types compatible with dye-based inks.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Dries extremely quickly on most paper types
- Provides crisp, professional-grade detail
- Water and light-resistant properties
- Small size is portable and easy to store
- Works well with blending tools and spray effects
Cons
- Dew drop shape is less efficient for very large stamps
- Requires proper cap closure to prevent drying out
- Not suitable for non-porous surfaces like plastic or glass
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your London Fog ink pad, store the product upside down; this keeps the ink at the surface of the pad for immediate use. When working on larger stamp designs, consider using a separate blending tool to pull ink from the pad to ensure even coverage across the stamp face.
Compatibility:
- Paper: Best used on porous materials like uncoated cardstock, vellum, and matte-coated paper.
- Maintenance: Always snap the lid shut firmly after every use to prevent the ink from evaporating. If the pad begins to feel dry after extensive use, apply a small amount of the matching London Fog re-inker. Clean your stamps immediately after use with a stamp cleaner to keep the pad surface free of debris and cross-contamination from other colors.
