I use momento tuxedo black, I notice if you let it sit for a short time it doesn't bleed. Except whenI try using the blender pen then it bleeds like crazy. Im taking a copics color class next week. SWEET!!!!
If you can afford to get another pad, try the one specifically formulated for using with Copics by A-Muse art stamps. It's fabulous, quick drying and never smears! I believe it is also recommended by Marianne who does a Copic Blog called I like markers: http://ilikemarkers.blogspot.com/
Good luck! The other inks are great too, but Amuse is the FASTEST drying and never smears one for me! The others sometimes smear depending on which cardstock is used...but not A-Muse's ink!
OMG, a_place_for_ink, this is some very, very helpful info including the awesome blog. Also I always can use a good "reason" to visit a muse, I love 'em mucho!
I use Memento Tuxedo Black ...I hated my Stazon and tossed it LOL It did nothing but stain up my stamps bad (had to buy stazon stamp cleaner to get it off) and it bleeds too much.

Do let us know what you think if you try that black ink! I've been using it all weekend, and am almost ready to send the other black inks on their way....that's how much I believe it works!

I will post and let y'all know! I bought the A Muse pads (before I ordered they confirmed which one for Copics) on Wednesday but my order didn't ship til Friday. So it should be here tomorrow but now I'm still waiting on my Monday SU order to ship out with my new patty's day set so I can use my copics but I imagine I'll just do something else so I can try the pads.
Quick question here---where can you buy Memento Black ink? Is it only on-line?
I tried Joann's, Wal-mart, Target and my LSS (that's all we have here, besides a lot of snow right now) and haven't been able to find any. I want SO BADLY to try some out with my Bic markers because the Staz-on, black dye ink, and black chalk ink I have all smear. I even tried embossing pigment ink with black embossing powder over it, and it STILL smeared.
Our local craft store Hobby Lobby carries that product line but were out of the black when I went on Thursday. So other than that all I know is on-line.

I use Versafine Onyx Black and Clear Detail Embossing powder... the embossing really makes the colors of the Copics pop! I have also used Memento Tuxedo Black and it also works great.

I use both of these methods too! The embossing insures absolutely no bleeding!
Ive been embossing also and although I love the way it looks I have missed a teeny tiny spot before and it bleed which makes me crazy so I was going to try the Memento I went to two of my LSS this weekend neither had any so I will try an online source.

I believe you can get it at almost any retail stamp store (maybe they have to special order it though if not a regular line they carry all the time).
I also found it at the Joann Super store in my area one time but haven't looked for it lately.

I use Palette Noir. You can buy it through PTI. I've also used Adirondack Pitch Black but I like the Palette ink best. Haven't tried Memento or Tim Holtz's Black Soot.
If you want to check out some seriously thorough tests done on various papers/inks with copics, Prismacolor markers (also alcohol ink) and SU Markers, check out this thread, post #7 for a link to Dana's blog with her results.
still waiting........pkg didn't leave Los Angeles until MONDAY evening! A Muse shipped it late Friday. I will post my "opinion" once it gets here. I don't have any special white except SU's so it still might not give me the perfect result I'd like. So it's possible I'll need to order some of the paper that was recommended on this post.
Memento Ink works great with NO heat setting. Palette and Brilliance both require heat setting. Memento also works great with Pencils and OMS and watercoloring. I like a one pad fits all ink and I also can't stand having to drag out my heat tool every time I want to color with Copics.

Well I ordered the A Muse pad they recommended for Copics via email and I'm sad. :( When stamping on SU Whisper White paper it takes up to 5 minutes to dry AND the ink doesn't like the SU markers as I was going over lightly on a small spot for emphasis on a image and it bled.
Can the SU paper be the cause of it taking time to try? I don't know but I'm pretty bummed. I'll try the Copics tomorrow...................
Just wanted to update....Linda from a muse contacted me, sent me their paper to try with the pad they sell for copics and presto! Perfect results and no smearing!
