Check your inks!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is not so much about technique but making sure your products are current to get the best results.

Did you know the formula for the ink changed a few years ago? When the ink pads changed from the hard linen to a foam pad the formula for the ink changed also. There is now an anti-foaming agent in the ink so you don’t get the air bubbles like you used to. You can put the new ink refills in the old style pads with no problems. But please don’t put the old formula of ink on the new pads. It won’t work well.

Here is how you tell if your ink refill is current with the new formula. Look on the side of the bottle. The top number should start with 17XXX if it is new. If the number is less than 17XXX then it is of the old formula.

Let me know if you need to re-order any of the refills.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,
