Full details
The Tsukineko StazOn Ink Pad in Vibrant Violet is designed for crafters and mixed-media artists seeking a durable, permanent ink for stamping on a wide variety of non-porous surfaces. Its key benefit is its incredible versatility and fast-drying nature, making it ideal for projects where longevity and crisp detail are crucial.

FAQs
What surfaces can I use the Vibrant Violet StazOn ink on?
You can use it on most acetate, acrylic, metal, leather, shrink plastic, cellophane, plastic, glass, and paper surfaces.
How do I prevent staining on my stamps?
Clean your stamps immediately after each use with a suitable stamp cleaner. Prompt cleaning is key to preventing permanent stains.
Is this ink permanent?
Yes, StazOn ink is designed to be permanent and fast-drying on non-porous surfaces once dry.
Can I re-ink the pad when it runs out?
Yes, you can re-ink the pad using Tsukineko StazOn ink refills, available separately in various colors.
What is the difference between StazOn original and StazOn Opaque/Metallic?

Is the ink archival and acid-free?

How long does the ink pad last?
With proper storage (lid tightly closed) and occasional re-inking, a StazOn ink pad can last for a very long time.
Troubleshooting
Ink pad seems dry or not inky enough.
Apply a few drops of the corresponding Tsukineko StazOn ink refill to the pad. Allow time for the ink to absorb fully before using.
Stamps are difficult to clean after use.
Use a dedicated StazOn stamp cleaner or a solvent-based cleaner specifically designed for permanent inks. Clean stamps as soon as possible after stamping.
Stamped image is smudged.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before stamping. Allow more drying time after stamping, especially in humid conditions. Avoid touching the stamped area until fully dry.
Ink is bleeding on porous surfaces.
For porous surfaces, consider a different ink type or apply a sealant to the surface before stamping with StazOn. Ensure only a light application of ink is transferred to the stamp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The StazOn ink pad is ready to use right out of the packaging. Ensure the lid is securely closed when not in use to prevent drying.
Compatibility: This ink pad is designed for use with rubber stamps, cling stamps, and acrylic stamps. It is compatible with most stamping platforms and tools. For re-inking, use the corresponding Tsukineko StazOn ink refill (sold separately).
Care:
- Cleaning Stamps: Clean stamps immediately after use. For most surfaces, soap and water may suffice for rubber stamps. For stubborn ink or when using on non-porous materials, use a dedicated stamp cleaner like Tsukineko's "StazOn All Purpose Stamp Cleaner" or "StazOn Citrus" cleaner. Avoid using solvents on delicate stamps or photopolymer stamps if specified by the manufacturer.
- Cleaning Surfaces: If ink accidentally transfers to unintended surfaces, clean immediately with the appropriate cleaner. Water-based cleaners may work on some surfaces, but StazOn cleaners are often required for best results on non-porous materials.
- Inkpad Maintenance: To refresh a dry inkpad, apply a few drops of the matching StazOn ink refill to the pad and allow it to absorb for several hours or overnight before use.
