Tsukineko VersaFine inkpad, Full-Size, Onyx Black

In my bookkeeping and financial assistant work, I use signature stamps regularly. The old black stamp pad I had was too light, making the signatures hard to see (kind of a grayscale?). This pad is just what I needed - very bold and dark - to match black ink pen handwriting on checks, documents, etc. In fact, if anything, this pad is almost too dark - it's now hard to find a black pen equally bold except for a flow pen (but I'd rather have that problem!). Also nice - it resists smudging or bleeding and dries almost instantly despite the bold marking.If you're looking for an ink pad that will make a beautiful if extremely bold, jet black impression - this is 10/10!

I absolutely love this VersaFine inkpad! The Onyx Black is a rich, deep black that stamps beautifully every time. It’s crisp, smooth, and works perfectly for all my stamping projects. If you’re looking for a high-quality inkpad that gives you that bold black you need, this is it.

This presents the most clear black images when I stamp, than I've ever experienced before. Highly recommend. It does not smear, it's consistent with every image.

I heard Youtubers raving about this ink and I had to try it out. It really is wonderful. Crisp, clean and the ink pad was juicy and still is. It's been probably 6 months or more since I bought this and it is my favorite black ink. Using it in combination with the red rubber stamps is a dream. I've bought a few colors of the versa line so far after this one too because I was so pleased. The Fallen Leaves color is amazing and so is the Strawberry. It's like when I switched from Aleene's glue to Art Glitter Glue and Barely Art (Both have their places), I will never go back. If you are tired of using black value inks and cheaper inks please spend the extra few dollars and just get Versafine. I promise it's totally worth it.

I love this brand of stamp pad. It works with my stamps like no other. Worth every penny.

This is the best black in I have used with stamping. The stamped image is always well covered the first time.I just wish I could buy refills.

I use nothing else but Verafine

I’m a beginner stamper, so I don’t have much to compare it to. But so far I’m pleased. I use cheaper clear stamps. Nice crisp image for detailed flowers and butterflies. Dries quickly on the papers I’ve used so far. Cleans off fingers and nails fairly easily. No bleed-thru yet, except in very, very thin paper. Quite a bit of ghosting, but that’s not an issue for the type of stamping I do. Currently using only black, but I’m pleased enough to start looking into trying other colors.
