Copic Marker Question. . .

[**Mazzie**]

What type of ink do you stamp your image in before you color with your Copic Markers? I have tried Staz On - bled through, Stampin' Up! Classic ink - bled through. Help?!

Memento Tuxedo Black is the best that I have found. I have heard you can use Versafine, but I have never tried it.

Ditto on Memento Tuxedo Black! Works great!

[11Valerie11]

Or Memento Rich Cocoa, if you are looking for brown.

[NikiE]

I use Momento Tuxedo Black, too.

[Heidi Kimmerly]

I use Adirondack Pitch Black which works just fine for me..

[Melissa C.]

If it makes it any easier for you, I bounce back and forth between Adirondack Pitch Black and Momento Tuxedo Black..........you see, if one ink pad is good; two must be better.

You read my mind...are you my twin???

Another vote for Memento Tux Black. It dries quickly, is a nice dark black, doesn't need to be embossed and doesn't bleed with Copics. What more could you want!?! The only trouble I had was in finding it local. I finally found it at my local Stamp Store (Queen's Ink in Md) and LOVE it!

[Gina K. Designs]

Another Memento Ink vote here!

The one I have had the best results so far
momento
versafine (I love this one, since the image lines come so crisp)- you NEED to heat set it, just zap it with the heat gun
Adirondack dye inks
and Paletter Hybrid (you need to make sure it's completely dry)

I use one of two inks:

Palette Noir ink or Momento Tux Black ink

[Lollies]

I also use Momento Tuxedo Black Will have to give versafine a go to see if it works

[glitterdovefairy]

Palette and Momento I use. I don't like having to heat set so I don't use versafine.

[Jamie Stamps]

I've been using my Memories black pad with no problems at all--even after almost immediate stamping. The stuff I read said not to use Staz-on since it's a solvent.

[Calv]

I've always used Impress dye ink and have never had a problem with it. I know Maddy uses this too.

[Donnarie]

Brilliance Graphite black also work well, but you do need to heat set. Most of the time, I use Momento inks.

[MrsAngotti]

If you use versafine, you can emboss it!!!

[amiles573]

I use Memento Tuxedo Black or Memento Rich Cocoa. I love them.

I occasionally have an image that has been stamped in Palette Noir, and it works fine as well. But I know with Palette ink you have to make sure it is good and dry. The images I have stamped are older and have been sitting there for awhile, and I haven't had a problem.

HTH !!!

[barbaralynn]

I also use Palette inks--I use black and charcoal and even have used brown.

Hope this helps--Barb

Memento Tuxedo Black for most images. If I have one that is very detailed, I use Versafine and emboss it with Clear Detail EP. That works fine with the exception of when I have a dot in the middle of a white space or something. Too much surface for the Copics to get under the EP and for the Versafine to bleed.

[Kristina727]

I can't find Ellen Hutson's set of Copic markers to go with Stampin Up. Can someone please tell me where it is? Thanks so much!!

[Buggy21]

I also use Versafine but SU's Chocolate Chip works as well.
