🖋️ Ranger Archival Ink Pads
Permanent Waterproof Stamping Inks for Crisp, Reliable Results
Ranger Archival Ink Pads are oil-based dye stamping inks designed to deliver sharp impressions, fine detail and long-lasting results.
Once dry, they become permanent and waterproof, allowing you to build layers confidently without disturbing your stamped image.
If you want clean stamping that stays exactly where you put it, this is your foundation.
🧪 The Formula
✔️ Oil-based dye ink
✔️ Permanent & waterproof when dry
✔️ Acid free – safe for scrapbooking and archival projects
✔️ Rich pigment with crisp, defined impressions
The formula is created for clarity and control, especially with detailed stamps and intricate line work.
🎯 Where It Performs Best
Archival Ink Pads work beautifully on:
- Paper & cardstock
- Chipboard
- Canvas
- Wood
- Shrink plastic
- Polymer clay
- Many non-porous surfaces (with proper drying time)
On porous surfaces, drying is quick. On smoother or coated surfaces, allow additional drying time or heat set for full permanence.

The stamped image remains crisp and intact.
🔁 Re-inkers & Maintenance
Each Archival Ink Pad has a matching re-inker, allowing you to refresh and extend the life of your pad. A few drops restore intensity and performance.
Clean your stamps promptly after use with a suitable stamp cleaner to maintain clarity and longevity.
