Kores Long Life Stamp Pad Small-Large

Kores Long Life Stamp Pad Small-Large, also known as stamp ink or stamping ink, is a specialized type of ink used with rubber stamps or stamp pads to create impressions on paper or other surfaces. Stamp pad ink is designed to provide clear, crisp impressions while ensuring durability and resistance to smudging or fading. Stamp pad ink comes in various formulations, including water-based, oil-based, and solvent-based inks, each offering different characteristics and benefits: Water-based Stamp Pad Ink: Water-based ink is the most common type of stamp pad ink and is suitable for use with most rubber stamps and porous stamp pads. It dries quickly, produces vibrant colors, and is easy to clean up with water. However, water-based ink may not be suitable for use on glossy or non-porous surfaces. Oil-based Stamp Pad Ink: Oil-based ink is formulated with oil-based solvents, making it suitable for use on non-porous surfaces such as glossy paper, plastic, or metal. Oil-based ink provides excellent adhesion and durability, making it ideal for archival or industrial applications. However, oil-based ink may require longer drying times and may be more difficult to clean up. Solvent-based Stamp Pad Ink: Solvent-based ink is formulated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is designed for use on non-porous surfaces where fast drying and excellent adhesion are required. Solvent-based ink provides waterproof and fade-resistant impressions, making it suitable for outdoor or industrial applications. However, solvent-based ink may emit strong odors and require proper ventilation during use.
