Hi folks! I was wondering what the best white ink for general use may be. I have stazon, but the reinkining and cleaning is a bit off putting to me. I would like to keep that to use on my slick surfaces, but am thinking of buying an ink pad for my typical cardstock type surfaces. Anyone have a favorite crisp white ink? Thanks!
My favorite is Hero Arts, Unicorn. I've used it on colored cardstock and it leaves a really white, crisp image. It's a pigment ink, but doesn't take long to dry.
Stampin Up Whisper White Craft Ink. It's my go to and you can get a bottle of refill ink to freshen your pad as needed. In my case it's not very often and I use it on a good 10 cards a week.

I like hero arts, but my ink pad is so juicy that my stamp yes over-inked. I've tried stamping it off on a scrap paper, but may have to do that another time or two. It does leave a nice white image, so I'll just have to play around with it a while.
I have generally had the best results using a Versamark/ clear embossing pad, and WOW! Opaque Bright White Embossing powder, which is available in Regular and Superfine Detail.
I also like the Hampton Arts White, and Studio G. I hate the white Staz-on with a passion, I'm afraid. As well as the other Opaque pastels they brought out. Those are pads I wish I'd never bothered with!
I watched a video on comparing white pads. Avery Elle pigment pad was theirs. I have tried Stazon and it is "meh" and the ink dries on the pad quickly (That might be why it included a reinker). I bought Stampin Ups and a reinker. I have not given it a try yet. Sounds Like Hero Arts will get my money next, Thanks for asking the question and thanks all for giving a prompt reply.
Wow folks! Thanks for all these suggestions! The "fun stampers journey whipped cream" I haven't heard of. Can I buy it at my local Michaels or Hobby Lobby? The hero arts I think may be at my local store, but I'm not sure. Thanks again!!!!! -Angie
