Fresh Inks have vibrant colours and dry fast. Excellent coverage for clear stamps and very little staining (more just a light tint and only with the darker colours). I know most people say that staining simply shows that your stamps are well loved but after a traumatic experience with a beloved Papertrey floral stamp and Colorbox chalk ink, I have been slightly scarred! :-o
I have made colour swatches of the Fresh Inks I have so far and here they are:
Oh, and btw, I am not getting any free product from the company for writing this ... just wanted to share a good find! :)
Here are a few cards I've made using these inks:
So what inks do you like and why? Feel free to leave a comment ...

I have just started using these inks and LOVE the mango color. Check it out! Thanks for this post - nice to see them stamped out. I gotta get 'slate'. You are such an enabler!
Ooh - nice post. I really like dye inks but maybe I should look into pigment ones? Memento dye inks are soooo nice.
Hmmm ... you have me rethinking my use of black ink pretty much exclusively! :)
The colors look so great!
I like some of the PTI inks ..(not all some are not good)..but the Versamagic Chalk ink are so great LOVE them they dry quicker then
Colorbox and I love the Versamagic colors..such sweet and happy full and rich colors(great said not?)
Versafine is great too..always thought it was dye ink..but now saw its Pigment Ink(learned something today)
Other inks I like but they are dye inks are Vivid and Memento.
Nice post, Cara! I love the Amuse pigmant ink but they are soft when dry even though I bought the summer collection. Thats one reason I also like dye ink. I like crisp bright image. So I go for SU inks and I make sure they are all nice n juicy. How are the colours of Fresh Inks? Are they bright and crisp?
I also have Hero Arts mid tone shadow inks and like them. I need some brighter colours though. Never tried Jenni Bowlin inks. Will have try that out too. Gosh! I have so many inks in different colours, different companies but still unsatisfied lol!
How do these colors match up with the PTI cardstock? I really don't like the new PTI ink pad shape, and am on the hunt for coordinating inks. Thanks for a great post!
Gayatri - depending on the colour, they can be quite vibrant. Like the red I bought ... Jenni Bowlin inks are fabulous as well ...
I am definitely purchasing some of these. Thanks for the product review!
