Thanks for the heads up about the other colors Staz On makes. I didn't realize they made mini ink cubes too! I have the jet black but now I will have to check some of the other colors too especially that Emerald City! Thanks again and have a great day!
I'm glad to see they finally have reinkers for the smaller size pads. Originally they didn't. Yay, now I can order them. Some of my smaller pads got heavy use and I was concerned since they didn't offer the reinkers at that time.
i love my jet black staz on, i use it with my spectrum noir moarkers and they do not smear the ink, i only have the browns (to date) and some bright neony copic which does smear
Thank you for the stazon video. I did contact them awhile ago because I wanted to know how to store there product. They said upside down and you can glue dot your plastic piece in the top. I have a few colors but it looks like they might be old colors. I like some of there new colors thou.
I use Staz-On all the time on glazed tiles. I clean the stamps with Simple Green, which is LOTS cheaper than their cleaner. If the ink has sat on the stamp for a long time (such as years; got some stamps from a friend that way), you can also use Kiss Off cleaner multiple times. It may not get it off completely, but it looks lots better than before.
Memento luxe is a VERY wet, slow-drying pigment ink. It smears like the dickens and I'd NOT use it on photos- it will never dry since it cannot sink into the fibers of the paper. So your option for photos is really Staz-On. Good luck!
I have the hardest time with my Stazon Jet Black pads. I've purchased a couple because they keep getting sticky and no matter how much I re-ink them they do not work well. Any suggestions? Thanks Dawn
D~DesignsByDragonfly That sounds like they are drying out. Maybe add a drop of solvent cleaner and work it around with an old toothbrush? that might de-gum it a little. Good luck!
+MYT CR8TiV not that I've tried. And the reason is, Staz-on contains a solvent and so to create my own cleaner with a chemical like this would probably be more toxic for me to create than just buy.
That's an interesting question. It may depend on if the surface is smooth or textured, and what kind of paint. I'm guessing you'd need a "juicy" pad to accommodate some texture, but it would need to dry on an acrylic- so perhaps VersaFine. :)
I use memento luxe with fabric & it is great 👍 you can color it with inktense pencils or blocks or any other fabric colors then when fully dry iron the piece 👌
Hi there.. I was wanting to know about the Staz-on Silver... Have you used it? Do you like the Silver? You said you like the white. I have heard that it drys out very fast! That you have to re ink it every time you want to use it! Is this true?
+Southern Angel Btq. Tammy Dameron (Southern Angels Boutique) I have the gold, so it's very similar to the silver. Yes, they all dry out very fast and you certainly need the reinkers. (My gold came with one.) The fact that it's a solvent-based pigment ink means that it evaporates almost immediately, which is why you can use it on non-porous surfaces and it won't smudge.
I have the Gold also but have not given it a try yet. I was wanting to get silver or white for Christmas crafting but not sure what one to get. I can get the silver at a really great price I have found. Would the silver look good for snow? I like sparkle but I don't know how this silver looks. Since you have it can you please tell me what you think about it? Thank you!!! God BLess!!!
Manualideas Fancylooks Sorry- I made a typo there. MEMENTO. Not luxe. There is a big difference between the two! And just for comparison purposes, I did a HUGE swatch test today. Looks like there are a few others that work well, too!
CraftTestDummies Thank you, precisely today I bought Memento (fade resistant dye ink) Tuxedo black color to use with Ciao Copics, the woman at the shop told me that was the right ink, I hope I got the right one then
77goodz86 Well, it says "non-toxic"- but it's not safe for children and it has cautions to avoid contact with eyes, skin, and to keep away from flame. Also use in a well-ventilated area/ don't inhale or ingest. So while it won't kill you, it's not good for your brain cells.
I get so confused with this. I not to be used on porous surfaces, Why is it alright to stamp on paper, cardstock, tags and then use water based markers. I asked because I followed what you just said and used my Staz-On Silver and Stamped on dark and light paper, { I assure you my inks had never been opened }, brand new that evening. The stamped image looked a very light ashy grey. I was anxious to use my brand new Tim Holtz Markers. So I feel like a Dummy with expensive products that are a bust. Lynda
GoldCoastCraftsbyDesign You are not a dummy, friend! There is just a lot of information and conditions....and that's why I'm here to help you clear it up! The "regular" and Opaque Staz On are just fine for porous surfaces like paper, in addition to non-porous ones. The Metallics, however, don't seem to really work that well on porous ones- they are formulated to be metallic on NON-porous surfaces. (There are a bunch of metallic pigment ink pads for paper and porous surfaces, but Metallic Staz-On is the only one for glass, paper, etc.) If you want to use your new Markers, I'd suggest one of these: Hero Hues Dye, Adirondack Ink Dye, or Memento Dye pads. They all work with both Alcohol markers and Distress markers, according to my tests. Good luck!
Thx so much. These all carry a Metallic Ink? Or should O just skip right to embossing? Just a lot of steps for stream line card making. I'm trying to get some All Occasion Sets made for Mothers Day Gifts for Women at my church. Young and older.
GoldCoastCraftsbyDesign No, not all Staz-On pads are Metallic. And you CANNOT emboss with these! You need a VersaFine pad for regular stamping and embossing, and I recommend a Memento for using with Alcohol inks and/or watercoloring.
Got it. You are my go to gal for my crafty brain cramps. Totally off the subject, but I'm fairly sure I viewed a demo you did on the WeRMemoryKeepers Die Cutting Machine. Yes? I'm very close to purchasing it. I like that you can adjust it's pressure level there for if I'm correct I wouldn't need all the extra "shim", "solo", etc that adds to the expense. As well it just seems like it's magnetic plate is a bit MORE beefy. But... CHA comes along and Spellbinders offers 81/2" wide. Bit I think it is ONLY for steel ruled dies. Which tells me you need their Grand Calliber and the new machine because what you've purchased is an Accu Quilt. I'm lost, again. Please offer you're much appreciated guidance. Such as, what do you trust and use. Not because it was "given". Or if it was, you seriously use it over all others because it works and you believe in it. I can't find the tutorial.
Great video...one more thing that it's good to know...Stazon is often not good for clear stamps, and the cleaner is most definitely not good for clear stamps!!
Thanks for the heads up about the other colors Staz On makes. I didn't realize they made mini ink cubes too! I have the jet black but now I will have to check some of the other colors too especially that Emerald City! Thanks again and have a great day!
This is a very informative video! Thank you for sharing!
Great video, Jenny. Thanks a lot!

New to stamping, thank you very much...

Terrific Review. Really helped me !

If I stamp out coasters, do I have to apply a fixative or Mod Podge over it , in case the glasses sweat on the inked part?
Thank-you for these reminder about buying the re-inker! I love the smaller size ones and colors. TFS! ~Jeanne
loved it!
Can i varnish or resin over a solvent ink without smearing?
Can Stazon solvent ink be cleaned with alcohol or nail polish remover, if I don’t have the cleaner ?
THUMBS UP....very helpful information....:)
Hello Craft Test Dummies how are you? What if you want to colour in the stamp picture what kind of colouring in pens to use
Are there any upgrades I'm sending it out of the country and hoping it will last long?
love C.T.D music!
Hello!
I need to create a custom shaped inkpad. Can I simply use felt and create my shape and then put on the ink and squeege it in?
Use Cut N Dry foam- it's meant to hold ink. amzn.to/2EGxwJj
I need help! just bought a stazon opaque and i inked my pad but the foam absorbs it all! my ink pad is totally dry today! is that normal?
YES. Solvent-based inks dry crazy-fast and you will need to reink it before each use.
Can you use staz on to stamp on natural untreated wood without it bleeding into the would grain?
It's best to seal the wood first to prevent bleeding- if you are looking for a nice clean image.
Thanks so much for this video! Is momento luxe a solvent ink too? I just bought some to stamp on pics. I couldn't find the info on the pad. Thanks!
Memento luxe is a VERY wet, slow-drying pigment ink. It smears like the dickens and I'd NOT use it on photos- it will never dry since it cannot sink into the fibers of the paper. So your option for photos is really Staz-On. Good luck!
Wow! Thanks! I didn't know that!
Hi. Have you tried Stazon on ceramics? Glazed ones
Yes, it works! It's tricky because it wants to "slide", but it does work. You still have to be careful with washing tho.
I have the hardest time with my Stazon Jet Black pads. I've purchased a couple because they keep getting sticky and no matter how much I re-ink them they do not work well. Any suggestions?

CraftTestDummies Thanks so much. I'll give that a try.

hello....i would like to know if StazOn ink works on pp label paper
What is PP?
Is there a DIY StazOn stamp cleaner ?
+MYT CR8TiV not that I've tried. And the reason is, Staz-on contains a solvent and so to create my own cleaner with a chemical like this would probably be more toxic for me to create than just buy.
What type of ink would work best for stamping onto painted canvas fabric?
That's an interesting question. It may depend on if the surface is smooth or textured, and what kind of paint. I'm guessing you'd need a "juicy" pad to accommodate some texture, but it would need to dry on an acrylic- so perhaps VersaFine. :)
Thank you for your suggestion.

No copic on Staz-on? I thought it was the opposite... Which ink do yo recommend for Copics?
Memento Luxe is the recommended stamp pad for alcohol-based markers. :)
CraftTestDummies Thank you, my dear, I confuse all the types of inks!.

Manualideas Fancylooks Yes, it's great. I also found out the the Hero Arts black dye pad is fabulous with Copics AND for watercoloring! :)
Hi, ,may I know if I could use Stazon on polymer clay ( baked and raw ) ?thank you !
+Chrystal Christina YES and YES! :)
Thank you so much!
@@crafttestdummies stazon ink on polymer clay would be waterproof in nature right ?
are the stazon stamp pads non toxic?
77goodz86 Well, it says "non-toxic"- but it's not safe for children and it has cautions to avoid contact with eyes, skin, and to keep away from flame. Also use in a well-ventilated area/ don't inhale or ingest. So while it won't kill you, it's not good for your brain cells.
Good on veg tan leather?
Yes, definitely

Robin- I use the Stazon cleaner- and I dab it off with a paper towel. I have not noticed an issue.
CraftTestDummies
Have you noticed the cleaner or the ink eating into your clear stamps? or drying them off?
+R Acenag no not had a problem drying them out at all i use black staz on all the time its my go to ink pad
