🖤 ExcelMark 2-1/8" by 3-1/4" Ink Pad for Rubber Stamps (Black Ink) - 2 Pack Review

I have 2 very small logo stamps (3/4 inch square) and this pad gives me very fine detail on regular computer paper. This is a somewhat "dry" pad, meaning it's not the juicy result of a bleeding punch. This is a clear, less inky result. I also bought a Stazon pad which is the complete opposite, Stazon is a juicy bloody stamp on regular computer paper. Buying ink pads to try out what works best on which surfaces is expensive.

I was hesitant to purchase the magenta hue of this ink pad based on some reviews that said the ink looked black. However, I was hoping for the purple hue! The ink pad looks dark but once you print it the color is noticeably purple and definitely not so dark that it looks black. I also wanted the ink pad to be flat to get the best ink coverage for my intricate logo, which is this one. I have to stamp the ink pad a few times to get adequate coverage, but it could be a stamp. Anyway, I'm pleased…

Incorrect stamp size. I have purchased this stamp before and expected to receive an ink pad that matched the image. You can see in the picture that the top panel has a full-size panel while the bottom one doesn't. These are both lists but the following is my most recent purchase. Because the rim makes the pad smaller, I can no longer use my large dies, even if I adjust them due to the overhang at the rim of the pad. All in all very disappointing. You can clearly see the stamp below does not…

I mostly use self-filling or pre-inked stamps, but there are always a few old-fashioned embroidery stamps that need lining and are custom made and used from time to time, so an ink pad should be in the be box. My old metal case, the raised pad pattern, has been repainted countless times, but it's gotten sticky and clearly dated, so I ordered this one. Satisfied, it has a well-fitted plastic case, the ink pad itself is completely flat and not rounded at the edges like the old traditional one…
