VersaCraft Cool Gray ink pad for stamping on clothes (on natural fabrics works best), non-glossy paper, and wood. An ink pad in a warm gray color to give a modern and elegant touch to your wedding envelopes, labels, gift paper, packaging boxes, and paper bags... Apart from printing it on white, you can also print it in dark colors and that is this gray ink is more useful than a Swiss knife.

If your stamp is bigger than the ink pad, don't worry, as you'll see in the photos, the pad protrudes from the base of the stamp so it's very easy to ink larger stamps if you turn them over and apply the ink little by little on the relief.

DETAILS

Ink pad color: Cool Gray

Ink size: 9,6x6,4 cm (3.8x2.5 inches)

Pad Size: 7,6x4,8 cm (3x1.9 inches)

APPLICATIONS
Ink pad suitable for fabric, wood, and uncoated paper. The paper has to be porous (normal paper, cardboard,...) for glossy surfaces you will need special ink. The color of the ink in the photograph may present a slight tonal variation with respect to the original due to the color of the different monitors. You will find some tricks on how to use this ink in the TIPS tab.

una sorpresa

Nunca había probado este color y la imagen me gustó, así que me decidí a adquirirlo y es genial. Me sirve para estampar en papel negro y oscuro, resaltando de una manera elegante. Además, me sirve para crear efectos de contraste en mi logo, que está dividido en dos sellos. Lo recomiendo al 100%

BITERSWIT GUIDE: HOW TO USE AND CARE FOR YOUR STAMPS
Here’s our Biterswit guide with tips to care for your stamps and inks.

HOW TO USE FABRIC INK
The best fabrics for stamping this ink are natural fibers like cotton, linen, and silk. The ink sets with the heat of an iron and holds up best on cotton and linen, although keep in mind this is not a permanent ink. You can also stamp on rayon or polyester, but on synthetic fabrics the ink will be water-resistant, not washproof.

1. Apply the ink gently. You’ll waste less and get a cleaner print than if you press the stamp onto the ink pad like there’s no tomorrow. No need to overload it.
2. Always test your stamp on paper first. Try a few times until it looks just right. Practice makes perfect! Once it’s working well, re-ink your stamp and start stamping on fabric.
3. Let the fabric dry completely. To heat-set the ink, iron the stamped fabric on the reverse side for about 15 seconds. This helps the print last longer in the wash. If you skip the ironing, it’ll still hold up—just not as long. Tip: place a piece of cloth between the iron and your fabric. Recommended heat: Cotton/High setting.
4. For washing, use gentle cycles and cold water. Once the print fades after many washes, just go back to step 2 and stamp it again!
5. To heat-set VersaCraft ink on wood or terracotta, use a hair dryer.

HOW DO I REINK AN INK PAD?
1. Shake the ink bottle well (if it’s already open, make sure the cap is tightly closed first).
2. Apply the ink evenly over the pad—from left to right, top to bottom, and diagonally. Repeat this process twice.
3. Let the pad rest a few minutes so the ink can absorb properly.
* TIP: After applying the ink, you can use a plastic spoon or small spatula to gently press and spread the ink into the pad. Then apply more ink if needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES
* These instructions are for VersaCraft inks. If you’re using a different ink brand, check the manufacturer’s instructions.
* The longevity of your print depends on the type of fabric and wash temperature (natural fibers + cold water = best results). Keep in mind that this is a domestic ink and not 100% permanent—it will fade gradually with repeated washing.
* VersaCraft inks are suitable for fabric, wood, paper, and uncoated cardstock. For glossy surfaces, you’ll need a different ink. Be sure the ink is dry before touching the print.
