Since I saw you last, I have been relying almost entirely on the trail for colours on my ColorBox rainbow set (this one, but primary colours: http://www.amazon.com/Clearsnap-Colorbox-Pigment-Paintbox-2-Option/dp/B0013JT7BU/ref=pd_sbs_ac_7) and I have been more happy with that then the ColorBox black that I used above. Makes no sense. Further experiments, ahoy!Bumblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757879893200986680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032403685554992033.post-39568086029473198792012-08-14T21:47:12.675-04:002012-08-14T21:47:12.675-04:00Interesting presentation Dr. Bumble. I would like ...Interesting presentation Dr. Bumble. I would like to add a qualitative analysis piece to the finale report.<br /><br />I too use both ink pads and have much to share. StazOn is fantastic for images, specifically those images with strong lines. I use my StazOn for my personal image as well as for some of the bolder (stencil, graffiti type carves). I like colorbox MUCH MUCH better for their coloured stamps. There is a lot of selection and the colours are vibrant - which I love.<br /><br />I agree the construction of the container is better with the StazOn, and colourbox- specially the dew drops or stackers are always coming apart and inking my bag.<br /><br />However, by far colorbox lasts longer. I feel like in the time it takes to sneeze my StazOn dries out. Also, the little plastic sheet you have to keep on to avoid the stamp from drying out is a royal pain to deal with when you are trying to stamp an image in the forest. <br /><br />I also have a Ditto stamp pad that has lasted me two years of regular use. Who would have thought.. but lets not rule those little guys out completely.Vivian the Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095139133993100969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032403685554992033.post-21715073400161425162012-08-14T14:05:03.783-04:002012-08-14T14:05:03.783-04:00I bought the StazOn at the Michael's in Markha...I bought the StazOn at the Michael's in Markham, although I've seen it at other Michael's locations as well. I think they're selling them in the neighbourhood of $14 each, which I think is a sin, so I'll be looking for a different supplier since I've fallen instantly in love with them...<br /><br />I've never tried Tsukineko inks - but I have a Kaleidacolor and the StazOn is the same kind of dye-type ink as that is. There's a big craft fair in Toronto that I went to last fall - I'm hoping all of the scrapbook people will be there again because they had some pretty fantastic prices on ink pads.

Where did you buy the StazOn?
...I'm convinced. Where did you buy the StazOn?<br /><br />And what kind of paper were you using?<br /><br />I've never had good luck with ColorBox. I have the petal set, and no matter how long I leave them to dry (e.g. 4 months once) I still get ink transfer from one page to another. I won't use them on the trail at all, and I'm even hesitant to use them for things like bookmarks or cards.<br /><br />I'd be curious to see the StazOn compared to the Dew Drops. I'm very happy with my Tsukineko inks (they do the Kaleidacolor as well).<br /><br />FiddleheadsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
