![]() Very disappointing because I bought the entire basic sets of the colors at once. The other colors are taking longer, but are difficult to use because I have to pound the s***t out of them to get any color! and the coverage is spotty. The black went bone dry within a month and basic gray followed soon after. I have only the new SU foam pads and they are all drying out. You could try contacting the company or your demo but if they're over 10 years old, I'm not sure if there would be something they could do or not but it might be worth it to ask. I've only been a demo for 6 years so maybe they made the actual cases better (do you have the old style where the lid swung open? I have a friend that has some of those or something and hers are still juicy.) but I haven't had a problem with any drying out besides the new firm foam in Basic Gray (one of the reformulated colors). I had some hobby lobby brand pigment inks and they dried out in less than 6 months so I understand being upset that they have dried out. I've had the opposite experience so I wonder what the problem is. From what I seen on Kristina Werner's vids using SSS stamps I wasn't impressed.she even noted that they are like Hero Arts and need to let dry before the impression looks right, but there was still something about the art made with them that didn't look right. Oh no Arizona, that's awful! I hope you can send them back for a refund. Looks like I will be sticking with my SU and investing in bottles of refills. I even tried these inks with my rubber stamps and have the same problems. It's not a problem with the clear stamps that came with them since I can get great, crisp details with my SU inkpads. I've tried tapping lightly, heavy, in circles, swiping and nothing helps. The ink also soaks completely through to the other side of my paper. The ink beads horribly on the stamp and there is either not enough ink so large blotches of impressions are not being made, or there is too much ink and the design gets obliterated. They are very juicy and no mater how I try I cannot get a good impression. I love the colors and I really wanted to like them. ![]() Well, I got my new SSS inkpads and have been playing with them the past day. I think I'll still suck it up and get the matching cardstock when I buy a SSS ink pad. Also, it's thicker than SU which is probably too thick for my Silhouette SD machine to cut. The only drawback is that the matching SSS cardstock is 50 cents a sheet, which is quite a bit pricier than SU. It's made from the same felt pad as the other Stewart Superior pads I have, so I know it will be air tight and stay juicy. I love the Simon Says Stamp ink pad! The ink stamps splotchy at first, but then evens out on the paper as it dries and lightens just slightly to get to the perfect shade. If I buy anymore SU inks, I'll just buy the reinker and get a dry felt pad from Ranger Industries. ![]() Also, SU ink doesn't even out as nicely on Neenah Classic Crest cardstock as Simon Says Stamp ink. My conclusion is that SU pads are NOT air tight, which really ticks me off considering all the money I invested in them. However, I have been very unhappy with how the SU pads have dried out, whereas most of my other brands of dye ink pads are still nice and juicy, over 10 years later. I like to have matching cardstock with my ink pads, which is why I went with SU over 10 years ago. ![]() Dive into a world of possibilities with the Rainbow Splash Rainbow Ink and Re-inkers Set.I have dozens of SU pads and one Simon Says Stamp pad, but if I had to do it over, I'd choose all Simon Says Stamp inks. When the time comes, apply the re-inker evenly across your ink pad and then allow a few minutes for proper absorption before using the ink pad again. The durable foam pads ensure optimal ink transfer for your projects, while the ink itself remains acid-free and fade-resistant for lasting results. Rainbow Splash re-inkers are designed to keep your Rainbow Splash ink pads nice and juicy so they can provide beautiful stamping and ink blending results! The ink and re-inker colors include: With convenient color labels on the side of each Rainbow Splash ink pad, finding the perfect shade is a breeze. The raised surface of the ink pads accommodate stamps of any size, ensuring precise and efficient application.
