I use them for all my stamping and scrapbooking needs. The color supposedly last longer and stays truer in pigment ink than in water based ink. I just like pigment ink because it is easier to ink stamps with.
I use it primarily to emboss sentiments to match my SU cardstock, but I have also found that it does a much better job of covering and getting a clean image from solid stamps. The color is also more vivid.
besides for cardstock and embossing, I am using it to stamp on walls, silk scarves, onsies, canvas totes, tablecloths etc
I have posted to my blog I think on Sunday a silk scarf I made.

...I think the Classic are dye based inks and the Craft are pigment inks...
Correct, and do you understand the difference? Dye based inks soak into the paper and become a part of it (think bleach) and pigments bond to the surface of the paper and become permanently attached to it.
I use craft inks when I want added texture, as well as more saturated color. I usually heat-dry pigments with my embosser, even if I am not using EP ~ but then, I am impatient and want to move on quickly to the next step, LOL!
