Product Questions for Ranger Ink - Archival Ink Pad - Jet Black

Archival Inks are not compatible with Alcohol based markers, if you stamp with Jet Black Archival and color with Copics the Archival will smear, however Distress Inks like Black Soot will work when dry and to prevent any smearing you can heat set your image 1st to speed up the dry time so you can color quicker.
Archivals are great to stamp over an Alcohol Ink background where you stamp over the background or you can even wipe off the Archival Ink to create a resist pattern over the alcohol background.

Hello, According to Ranger website, no, not the same. Jet Black reinker has product ID of ARR30799, while Black Soot has product ID of ARD51091. I think color values will also differ. Meaning Jet Black will be more intense and crisper than the Distress colors (Black Soot), when stamping. I have used Black Soot in the Distress line (non-permanent) and it does not give crisp images. But, that is the desired result of Distress products. By: dsanusa (06-Aug-20) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

Ranger makes a stamp cleaner but you can also use hand sanatizer or alcohol just make sure you follow up with soapy water and a lint free cloth to remover the harsh chemicals even with the ranger solution as it has an oily residue that will prevent stamping with water based inks.

Archival Stamp Cleaner is a water based cleaner that cleans Archival Ink off of your stamps safely. The cleaner will cleanse the ink off of your stamps but Archival Inks do sometime stain stamps unlike dye based inks because they are a permanent ink.
