Ranger Archival Inks are a top choice for crafters and artists who need to create crisp, permanent stamped images. These ink pads produce lasting results in a classic palette of rich, fade-resistant, and water-resistant colours.
Key Features:
Archival and Permanent: The inks are acid-free, non-toxic, and permanent on most paper surfaces, making them safe for all your paper projects. For glossy surfaces, a heat-setting process is recommended to ensure permanency.
Crisp, Detailed Impressions: The unique formulation of Archival Ink allows it to stamp a sharp, clear image. This makes it ideal for use with detailed stamps or for creating outlines that will be colored in later with other mediums.
Waterproof & Fade-Resistant: Once dry, the ink is completely waterproof and fade-resistant. This feature is especially useful when stamping over other water-based mediums like dye inks, alcohol inks, acrylic paints, and watercolors, as the Archival Ink will not smudge or bleed.
Versatile Use: The ink is a favorite for stamping open images to be colored with markers, pencils, or pigment powders. The "Jet Black" shade is particularly popular for this technique.
Compact Size: The ink pads measure 2" x 3" (5 cm x 8 cm), making them convenient for both small detailed stamps and for brayering or inking larger stamps.
