Question for you. My white pad is really wet and runny, I have just dealt with it. However I just had a customer email and ask why it is so "smeary". Any one else have a problem with this pad?
You can take a paper towel and try to get some of the ink off of the pad, this might help! When I got my white pad, it was too goopy also. My demo had had hers a long time and it needed reinking. We reinked her older pad with my brand new pad, we just smushed them together several times, worked like a charm for both of us! I thought they were doing a better job about not making them so goopy, but maybe not with your pad?! You might want to call customer service about it, too! If you use it a lot, it will eventually dry out some, maybe leave it open a bit? Hope this helps!
I had the same problem... I used a paper towel to wipe off some of the excess ink, plus I let it sit out and "dry" for a day. It is still too wet for my liking, so I rarely use it... but it definitely has improved since I first got it.
my black pad is like this. I tried to stamp onto glossy cs and the stamp just slipped all around no matter how gently I pressed onto the paper or the pad itself. Went back to my old Colorbox pad and it worked just fine.
I was always told dye upside down, pigment right side up to store them.
Well the new ink pad design keeps the dye upside down, but the pigment inks are also upside down which is keeping them too wet.
Quick solution, flip the pigment pads upside down. I know this defeats the purpose of teh new design, but they should have taken that into consideration when they put the craft pads int the same designed case, they should have kept them right side up.
My white craft pad is pretty messy, and I wasn't using it much because images took way too long to dry - but I absolutely love it for embossing. I never use an embossing pad anymore. I think I might have read this here last year - the white doesn't show. I use my white all the time now. I made 130 wedding invitations with gold embossing, and it was a great image each time.
