Pigment inks are designed to sit on top of the surface being stamped. This means they produce incredibly brightly coloured imprints and are excellent for embossing. They require some drying time because they do not absorb into the surface. Stamping using pigment inks on matte paper is the easiest, but they're also very adaptable. Pigment inks can be utilised on glossy surfaces such as glassine, but they require a steady touch and a LOT of drying time. They can also be used on most materials, albeit not all are washable.
