Tsukineko Versacraft Ink Pad - Cherry Pink

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

After stamping and allowing the ink to dry, heat set it with an iron on a high cotton setting for at least 15 seconds. Use a protective cloth between the iron and the fabric.

Yes, once properly heat-set on fabric, items can be washed delicately at a maximum of 40°C. Results may vary depending on the fabric type.

Drying time varies greatly depending on the surface material, humidity, and temperature. Allow sufficient time for drying before heat setting or handling.

The ink pad itself has a raised surface size of 25 x 25 mm.

The Versacraft ink is recommended for unpainted wood. For painted surfaces, test on a small, inconspicuous area first, as adhesion can vary.

The ink may wash out completely when the fabric is laundered. Some staining might still occur before washing, even if the ink itself washes away.

Ensure the fabric was properly heat-set with an iron on a high setting for at least 15 seconds, using a pressing cloth. Re-heat set if necessary.

This is normal for fabrics. Ensure you heat set the design as soon as the ink is dry to the touch, or as soon as practically possible. Pre-wash fabric to remove sizing before stamping, as sizing can affect ink adhesion.

Check if the ink pad is still moist. If dry, it may need re-inking with compatible Tsukineko ink (sold separately). Ensure the stamp is clean and has even ink coverage.

Gently press the stamp onto the ink pad, rocking it slightly to ensure full coverage. The pad is raised, allowing for easy inking of larger stamps.

Allow adequate drying time before touching the stamped area. If smudging persists on non-porous surfaces, ensure the surface is properly prepared and dry. Heat setting may also resolve minor smudging issues on appropriate materials.
