Favorite ink and paper brands

[stampophile]

My ink pads seem to be drying out quickly. I have re-inkers, but think maybe another brand might be better. These just don't seem "juicy" enough. I thought it was me, but I recently tried The Stamps of Life Color Box inks and they were great. Before I invest in more ink pads, I'd like recommendations.
What is your favorite brand of fast drying ink?

Also, I have different brands of white paper to stamp on. With some paper the lines are crisper and the ink doesn't smear easily.
What brand of paper do you prefer to stamp on?

I'm all Close to my Heart! I'm a consultant, but bought years before signing up. Their ink pads are great, and they have custom reinkers also. The cardstock is a perfect weight, and the White Daisy blends inks and markers beautifully!

I love Memento Pads and my favorite white cardstock is the 200lb. Georgia Pacific cardstock from the office department at Walmart. It's super smooth and affordable.

I have to say the two brands I reach for most are SU and Memento...I don't very many reinkers for SU but so far have only needed one reinked. And the only one I've ever reinked of the Memento is Tuxedo black but then that one gets used A LOT!! I have one ink pad from The Stamps of Life and I can say I really do like it, inks up my stamps wonderfully and makes very crisp stamped images. If I didn't have so many Memento ink pads (like all of them!) I would collect The Stamps of Life.

Also wanted to say that SU Whisper White makes stamped images look amazing! While I wouldn't use it as a card base I do use it often as a focal layer, it is more of an off-white than crisp white though. My white card stock of choice is Papertreyink Stamper's Select White, also love their Rustic White.
