true color, but not great for stamping
The color of this ink is exactly what I expected and it's very close to the color shown on the lid. However, the stamped image, using a high-quality rubber stamp, was blurry. I tried it 4 times and used the same stamp I use to test all my inks, but each time the image was blurry enough that I'd be embarrassed to use it on a card or scrapbook page. This pad will be used for blended-ink cards (e.g. part of a sky at sunset).
