Product Information
Full details
The StazOn Solvent Ink Pad in Royal Purple is designed for crafters and artists who need a reliable, permanent stamping solution for difficult, non-porous surfaces. It is an essential tool for mixed media, card making, and memory keeping, offering archival-quality results on materials like acetate, glass, and metal. While it performs exceptionally well on these challenging surfaces, users should note that the ink is solvent-based and dries rapidly, requiring prompt cleaning of stamps after each use to prevent damage.

FAQs
Can I use this on fabric?
StazOn is designed primarily for non-porous surfaces. While it may work on some fabrics, it is not optimized for textiles and may bleed or wash out.
Is the ink waterproof once dry?
Yes, once the solvent has fully evaporated and the ink has set, it is permanent and water-resistant on most surfaces.
Does this work on photo paper?
Yes, the solvent-based nature of the ink allows it to adhere well to glossy surfaces like photo paper.
How do I store the ink pad?
Store the ink pad flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the ink.
Can I re-ink this pad?
Yes, you can refresh the ink pad using the corresponding StazOn Royal Purple re-inker.
Troubleshooting
Ink is drying out on the pad
Ensure the plastic inner cover is snapped into place and the outer lid is fully closed when not in use.
Ink will not come off the stamp
Use the official StazOn Stamp Cleaner; the solvent formula requires a specific chemical balance to dissolve properly.
Image is blurry or lacks detail
Use a light tapping motion to ink the stamp rather than pressing down firmly, which prevents excess ink from pooling.

- Fast drying time can lead to staining if stamps are not cleaned immediately
- Strong odor characteristic of solvent-based inks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your StazOn ink pad, ensure your work surface is clean and free of dust. After inking your stamp, apply even pressure to your surface and lift straight up to avoid blurring. To ensure the longevity of both your stamps and the ink pad, always replace the inner plastic cover and the outer lid immediately after use to prevent the solvent from evaporating. For stamp maintenance, use only the dedicated StazOn All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner. Avoid using traditional soap and water or alcohol-based cleaners, as these may not effectively break down the solvent properties or could damage the stamp material.
