Versamark Ink Designer Choice MPCT

 Hi all,

This month I am going to choose Versamark Inks as my Designer Choice of products with Megan's Paper Craft Treasure. I simply LOVE this ink.. 

Check out the video here: A Card With Versamark Ink..

VERSAMARK INK

 

VersaMark is the original watermark ink and is used for heat embossing. It is loved by paper crafters for its exceptional quality and versatility. VersaMark's tackiness makes it ideal for use with Embossing Powders, pearlescent powders and chalks.

What is difference between dye and pigment ink?

How does watermark ink work?

Watermark Ink constitutes of resins that permeate through stock in liquid form without hardening at room temperature and enables watermarks by varying the transmissivity of the light. Use for resin letterpress or offset printings. Conduct pre-use tests on non-coated paper to ascertain the printability of watermarks.

Once dry, stamped images are waterproof and will not smear. Images are light fast and fade resistant. The Versamark Ink pad produces more than twice as many images as a standard pigment ink pad.

 Stamp your image onto text-weight paper to explore the possibilities of watermarking, or stamp subtle tone-on-tone images onto coloured cardstock.

  VersaMark is so sticky that it will act as a "glue" for different mediums. 

VersaMark Dazzle Watermark Stamp Pads combine all the great qualities of the original VersaMark with added shimmer to give your paper projects an easy touch of elegance. 

Perfect for a myriad of techniques including monochromatic and watermark effects ..

Ideal for embossing and providing a base for chalks and pigment powders.

 

Heat-set on glossy papers and brayer over with Memento dye inks for a 

shimmering resist effect 

Use on dark papers for a subtle sparkling image 

Excellent for background designs 

Water-based, archival and acid-free

 Embossing: Use the VersaMark ink pad for heat embossing projects. Because VersaMark is a clear ink, you can use the embossing powder colour of your choice without the colour of the pigment pad showing through the embossed powder.

 Watermark: Create a great tone-on-tone effect by stamping on a piece of coloured card stock. The image appears a deeper shade than the card stock and is perfect for subtle backgrounds.

It is normal for Versamark Ink pads to become dirty, don't panic it's ok to use still.. I use mine mostly to emboss with embossing powder so it doesn't show any colour on the inked image that was on the pad.. I have several pads, one for embossing and one to use only on white papers so it stays nearly clean lol.. 

I hope this has helped you in some way.
