ExcelMark Ink Pad for Rubber Stamps 2-1/8" by 3-1/4" - Green

The item came very dry with ink barely able to come out of the pad with my stamps. However it’s still reusable as I was able to revive the ink with a bottle of (the same bran) ExcelMark ink I had already on me. I have to guess the product was probably sitting in a warehouse/storage for too long and the ink had started to dry up. It’s working fine now, but I wonder how long the pads can last before the ink starts drying up and you need the refills.

I had to throw this away when I tried to use it - it was dry and basically completely worthless. Waste of money. I usually don't bother to write bad reviews but this particular item was a POS. Since some people liked theirs - there are a lot of 5 star reviews it is apparent that about 70% of them go out good, and the rest are old, dried out and no good.

Better than the two other brands I have tried. This ink is very dark and quick to dry. I primarily use it to stamp our business logo on the cork bottoms of the coasters we sell. The other brands either took too long to dry, would leave marks on stacked items, or simply turned out more of a dark gray color than black. Will purchase again! Will leave updated review if anything changes.

I hesitated purchasing the purple shade of this ink pad based off of some reviews stating the ink looked black. However, the purple is the shade I was hoping for! The ink pad looks dark, but once you stamp it the color is noticeably purple and certainly not dark enough to look black. I also wanted an ink pad that was flat in order to get better ink coverage for my intricate logo which this one is. I do have to stamp the ink pad several times to achieve enough coverage, but it could be the stamp. Either way I’m satisfied and pleasantly surprised that the ink is a brighter purple.

Worked exactly as I needed it too. Had a quality pad inside and not that cheap foam stuff. And it was small enough for the location I wanted to use it, but large enough for the stamps I needed to use it with.

This ink pad doesn’t close properly and regardless of how light or hard you push your stamp into it, there’s hardly any ink in there. Choose a different ink pad.

I have 2 very tiny logo stamps (3/4 inch square) and this pad gives me super fine detail on ordinary computer paper. It is somewhat a "dryish" pad, meaning it is not a juicy bleeding stamp result. It is a sharp less inky result.I also bought a Stazon pad which is just the opposite, the Stazon is a juicy bleedy stamp on ordinary computer paper.It is expensive to buy stamp pads to experiment what works best on what surfaces.

The ink pad is great and seems to be full of ink; only the wrong color. This blue color appears to be the exact same as my company logo- however when it arrived and I used it- it was very bright like a ROYAL BLUE and my company is more of a navy blue. I am returning this today.There also appears to be a blank stain on the pad- although it didn't show when I used the stamp- when I actually look at the pad I see it...so I am not sure...returning this to the seller/Amazon today.If you want a royal blue/bright blue ink pad the value for money is great!I ordered a new ink pad and hope the color is better.
