Bashful Blue Ink doesn't match CS!!

[Carol Shafer]

Does anyone else find this to be true? I was making a card today and the ink is nothing like the cs.

The only thing I can think of (because I no longer order from SU! so I do not know the latest info) is that at one time , they changed Bliss Blue to Bashful Blue. Could that be the problem? Maybe you still have some of the "old" batch?:confused:

Yes. This has been a problem ever since they added Bashful Blue to their color collection and got rid of Bliss Blue. A lot of people complained to SU. I even talked to my SAM about it at the time and they decided not to change it. They said that the ink just had to coordinate with the cardstock and not be a perfect match.

Isn't the whole point to have it match exactly?

[cjbapp]

Yeah...no match here either... :(

I won't use it on an image, only for words when they are thin and you can't tell so much.

Thanks to everyone that replied. I decided to go with Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze. At least it matches!

Bashful Blue does not match for me either. I hope that SU takes notice and changes it.

This is true for me too. Its much darker and has a purple tint to it than the cardstock. I still use the ink all the time. I just don't do tone-on-tone with the cardstock.

Yes, I find this to be true, too. I usually stamp off once with Bashful Blue, then it matches the CS better!

THe craft inks for the Soft Subtles are very accurate. There must be something about the saturation in the dye inks not being able to get those lighter colors just right. I love the craft inks for the lighter colors.
