Product description
The package contains a single 2" x 3" archival ink pad in red. The pad is sized for standard craft stamps and portable enough for hobby use.
The ink is a dye-based Archival Ink that is waterproof when dry, acid-free, and formulated to resist fading. It’s intended to produce clean, well-defined impressions and to remain permanent on many common surfaces used in crafting and art projects.
Pads in this line can be refreshed by applying the matching Archival Ink Re-Inker, extending the pad’s usable life. The ink works alongside water-based inks, markers, acrylic paints, watercolors, and similar media; many crafters use it for stamping on paper, cardstock, and mixed-media pieces. Available in a wide selection of colors to suit different projects.

Reliable ink pads
I own several of these Ranger pads in different hues. As a cardmaker they stamp cleanly and dry quickly.

They’re waterproof once dry, exactly as advertised.

Nice shade but bled
Color was attractive, but on several papers the ink spread and made my stamped lines look heavier. A competitor’s black didn’t show that issue.
