Product FAQ's

Q. What is the difference between Classic and Craft inks?
A.
Classic inks are dye base inks and craft inks are pigment based inks. What that means is that classic inks are water based inks and take less time to dry. Pigments inks are heavier and take a longer time to dry. This makes them great for heat embossing. Craft inks also have opaque finish on colored cardstock. For example, if you were to stamp Yo-Yo Yellow classic ink on Basic Black cardstock, you wouldn't be able to see the ink because it would blend into the cardstock. If you were to stamp Yo-Yo Yellow craft ink onto the Basic Black cardstock, the ink would show up against the black since it has an opaque finish. You can also heat set craft inks for an even more opaque look on your projects. Craft Inks are have an archival quality and are great for scrapbooking.
