FAQs

What surfaces can I use Versacraft ink on?

You can use it on fabric, unpainted wood, uncoated paper, Japanese papers, leather (tanned leather), and unglazed pottery.

How do I make the ink permanent on fabric?

Heat set the ink with an iron on the cotton or high temperature setting for at least 15 seconds, placing a cloth between the fabric and the iron.

What should I do if the ink washes out before heat setting?

This is normal. The ink must be heat-set to become permanent.

Can I use a hair dryer to heat set the ink?

Yes, a hair dryer can be used to heat set the ink on wood and terracotta.

Is Versacraft ink suitable for archival projects?

Yes, it is ideal for archival scrapbooking due to its opacity and permanence after heat setting.

How long does it take for the ink to dry?

Drying time varies depending on the surface and humidity. Heat setting is required for permanence.

What is the size of each ink pad?

Each pad measures 24mm x 24mm.

Troubleshooting

Image fades or washes out after washing fabric.

Ensure ink is properly heat-set using an iron (cotton or high temperature setting) for at least 15 seconds. Place a cloth between the fabric and iron.

Ink does not adhere well to the surface.

Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying ink. For certain materials, the ink might not be compatible. Check the material compatibility list.

Ink appears too light or faded after heat setting.

Increase the heat setting time. Use a higher heat setting if appropriate for the material, or ensure the heat source is directly applied to the inked area.
