Japanische Stempelkissen

The oil-based pigment ink doesn't bleed through the thin paper I use for stamping, which was always my problem with cheaper pads. Only gripe is the lid takes a firm press to snap shut, but the crisp impressions are worth it.

The pad surface presses down evenly, so even my chunkier stamps come out crisp with no patchy edges. I've stamped about fifty times and the ink still looks fresh, not dried out at all.

The ink dries fast and doesn't smudge, which matters when I'm stamping labels for my jars. The pad surface makes clean contact every time, so even my smaller rubber stamps come out crisp.
