? about color box fluid calk ink pad
 
Could someone please tell me if this ink stays wet for a while or does it dry quickly like dye ink?
Thank You

Check the label - if it is pigma/pigment or solvent it is slow drying. If it says dye it dries quickly.

It dries fairly quickly.

mine dries pretty quickly. much faster than craft but not "instant" like dye ink...I give it about a minute (usually) and then I'm good to go. (unless I'm in a hurry and doing a dtp,shabby kind of card and then it doesn't really matter except I might get a bit of the ink on my fingers.)

The chalk ink is really nice...if you're not sure, just get a popular colour like chestnut roan to start and see how you like it.

It dries slowly enough to use it for embossing, and quickly enough not to be a pain in the patootsie.

It dries fairly quickly on CS or non-glossy papers. But if you stamp it on vellum it will smear and takes a long time to dry. Give it a quick heating with the heat tool and it will dry much quicker, and become permanent.

It dries quickly, with a nice soft finish. More matte looking.

I prefer Color Box Chalk.
