VersaCraft ink works on fabric, unpainted wood, uncoated paper, Japanese papers, tanned leather, unglazed pottery, paper mache, and shrink plastic.
Heat setting is required for permanence on textiles. While it aids permanence on other materials like wood and leather, it's essential for washability and durability on fabric.
Drying time varies greatly depending on the surface, material, humidity, and temperature. On paper, it dries relatively quickly. For fabric, the permanence comes after heat setting.
Yes, items stamped on fabric can be washed after the ink has been properly heat-set. The longevity of the print may vary depending on the fabric type and washing conditions.
The raised pad size is 76mm x 47mm.
Yes, the Brick Versacraft Pad can be re-inked using compatible Tsukineko VersaCraft ink refills to extend its lifespan.
Use a household iron set to a high cotton setting. Place a cloth between your project and the iron, and press firmly for at least 15 seconds. Ensure the entire stamped area receives adequate heat.
Ensure the fabric was pre-washed. Crucially, heat set the stamped image using an iron on a high cotton setting for at least 15 seconds, with a cloth between the iron and the fabric. Re-apply heat if necessary.
Ensure the stamp is evenly inked by lightly dabbing it onto the ink pad. Check that the surface you are stamping on is flat and firm. You may need to re-ink the stamp pad if it is low on ink.
Allow sufficient drying time for the specific paper type. For enhanced permanence on paper, especially if it will be handled frequently, consider heat setting as recommended for other materials.
The pad may require re-inking. Use a compatible Tsukineko VersaCraft ink refill. Apply the refill ink sparingly and allow it to absorb into the pad before use.
