The Versamark Watermark Inkpad features a clear translucent ink, which produces a stamped image slightly darker than the paper color creating a watermark effect. Great for stamping background or to achieve designs with subtle color variation. For a raised effect sprinkle your stamped image with embossing powder while wet and heat emboss. Best suited for uncoated papers. Be sure to clean the stamp pad after use with a stamp cleaner or mild soap and water.
