Tsukineko Brilliance Pigment Inkpad Matte Graphite Review

As an avid Arts and Crafts enthusiast, I was hesitant to try out this brand's pigment inkpad, but I was pleasantly surprised. As a result of my tests, I determined that the Matte Graphite color was perfect for my Stamps projects. The ink dried quickly and left no smudges or streaks, making my finished products look polished and professional. However, the inkpad is a bit pricey compared to others in the market, but its quality justifies the cost.

This is how the stamp pad should be; opaque, thick, archival and waterproof. I use this to stamp all my small business gift boxes and outbound packages with the company logo.

The graphic black version of this pad turned out to be rather dry and not at all juicy. I've used Archival pigment pads in the past and they were able to cover a medium sized stamp nicely with just a few taps on the pad - this time I had to press and color multiple times before getting a vaguely clean image. In the end I returned it. The reason for the two stars is that I'm not sure if it was *my* sanitary napkin (dry?) or the product in general.
