The Tsukineko Versacraft Ink Pad in Emerald is designed for crafters and artists looking to add permanent, vibrant color to a wide range of surfaces, especially fabric. Its key benefit is its versatility and permanence when heat-set. A caveat to be aware of is that on fabric, the ink can wash out before heat setting, and heat setting is crucial for permanence.

You can use it on fabric, unpainted wood, uncoated paper, Japanese papers, tanned leather, and unglazed pottery.
You must heat set the ink using an iron on a high setting (like 'cotton') for at least 15-30 seconds. It is recommended to place a protective cloth between your iron and the project.
Yes, once the ink has been properly heat-set, items stamped with Versacraft ink can be washed. Results may vary slightly depending on fabric type and wash cycle.
Drying time varies based on the surface material, humidity, and air circulation. On paper, it may dry in minutes, but on fabric, it needs to dry sufficiently before heat setting. Always allow adequate drying time before proceeding to the next step.
Yes, the Versacraft ink pad can be re-inked using Tsukineko Versafine or Versacraft refill ink in the corresponding Emerald color. Apply the refill ink and let it absorb.
Yes, the Versacraft ink is noted for its opacity and permanence, making it suitable for archival scrapbooking projects.
The raised pad size is 24mm x 24mm.
Ensure you are using the correct heat setting (e.g., 'cotton' or high) for at least 15-30 seconds. Verify that a protective cloth was used between the iron and the fabric. Some fabric types may also absorb and hold ink differently; test on a scrap piece first.
Ensure the ink pad is adequately inked. If the pad feels dry, re-ink it with the appropriate refill ink. Press the stamp firmly and evenly onto the ink pad, then onto your surface.
This is expected behavior on fabrics prior to heat setting. Allow the stamped item to dry completely before attempting to heat set. Handle stamped items gently until heat set.
The ink pad may need re-inking. Use Tsukineko Versafine or Versacraft refill ink in the corresponding Emerald color. Apply the refill ink sparingly and allow it to soak in for a few hours before use.
Ensure the paper is not too absorbent. For very porous papers, a light coat of sealer or using a different ink type might be necessary. The Versacraft is designed for a range of porosity, but extreme cases may require adjustments.
Setup: The Versacraft ink pad is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure the lid is securely closed when not in use to prevent the ink from drying out.
Compatibility: This ink is compatible with most standard rubber or clear stamps. It adheres well to porous surfaces such as fabric, unpainted wood, uncoated paper, Japanese papers, tanned leather, and unglazed pottery. It is not recommended for glossy or coated papers, or plastic surfaces.
