New Ink Pads!

Good Day All!

 Thought you might like an update on our new ink pads. The new firm foam is great. I can say that with experience backing me up! I've bought and used a few colors now, and I have to say that I do like them! There's no need to switch all your ink pads over to the new kind. Just remember when you order a new color, it will come in the new firm foam design. If you're getting re-inkers, they're still fine to use on the old pads, but you won't want to use the old re-inkers on the new pads. Check out what SU has to say about them below...

 

 Firm Foam Stampin' Pads

With the introduction of the 2012-2013 annual catalogue, we have made a very big change to our Stampin' Pads.
Introducing firm foam pads! They change your stamping experience for the better.
We know you're going to love these new Stampin' Pads--just look at all the exciting benefits listed below:

• Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
• Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!  

In addition, our new Stampin' Pads

• Create wonderfully solid images. The Firm Foam releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the felt pads. When using the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often.
• Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
• Come with colour name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)-just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification!
• Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
• Are available in all colours, including our exclusive In Colors!

Let your customers know about these exciting changes to our Stampin' Pads. Be sure to have at least one on hand so your customers can see and experience for themselves the improved quality of our Stampin' Up! Stampin' Pads.
Please note: Five ink colours have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and colour stability with the new firm foam pads. These colours are

• Basic Black
• Basic Gray
• Marina Mist
• Perfect Plum
• Tempting Turquoise

All five colours of the reformulated inks have been fully tested and approved. While using the new ink formula in the old Stampin' Pads is fine, we do not recommend using the old ink formula in the new firm foam pads. Any refills purchased after April 30, 2012, will contain the new formulated ink*.
