Remember when you were a child, how fascinating ink pads were for some reason? It just seemed so fun to watch when the teacher would use his or her ink pad to stamp papers. Then remember how exciting it was to get an ink pad and stamp set for Christmas or your birthday? How much  fun it was to sit at a table and stamp papers with all the various stamps that came with the set?

Well rubber stamping is just as fun for kids today as it was back then but today there is a much wider range of ink pads to select from. What you may not know is that ink pads are divided in to two basic types and that is “dye based ink†and “pigment based inkâ€.

So, whats the differences between the two? As it turns out the differences are many and they do make a big difference in the two ink types behaviors and characteristics when they are being used.

For instance, for children's and general office or household use, a dye based ink pad would be your best choice. The one main reason this, is that dye based ink is the fastest drying of the two ink types. Also, dye based ink will deliver a much sharper, finely detailed result when used.

The other common type of ink pad is the pigment based pad. It also has its unique characteristics that make it a better choice for other unique situations. It has a much slower drying time for instance, which makes it a better choice for treating with embossing powders.

However; there is one shortfall to using an ink pad that contains a pigment based ink in it and that is that it won't work well on glossy or any type of coated paper. However; pigment based ink does leave a more opaque or “thickerâ€, “denserâ€Â  impression than a dye based ink will, so this is something that you may want to take into consideration.
