It took me sometime of playing with inks myself before I actually came to realise the difference in various ink qualities. Not the orange and the blue ink, able to see the difference? The ORANGE and the BLUE ink. They are both stamped with stamps from the same letter series. If you want a very accurate comparison, look at the letter "a" & "e" in both cases.
The orange ink is firm and neat with very clear and clean ends. The lines are well printed out and the ink is evenly spread across. This is good ink! The ink pad is mid-wet and when you put your stamp in you don't really see ink flowing out of the entire ink pad. (:
The blue ink of the other hand looks very very smudgy, the ink actually 'leaks', look at the letter "a". The spread of the ink is not even and not consistent. No clear lines and every thing looks very smudgy even though it wasn't smudged at all. This is not so good ink if it is for stamping of letters or designs/other forms of stamps with fine details and lines. This ink pad on the other is overly watery, and when I dry it up, the ink just get chunky and hard to get inked on the stamp, what more to stamp on paper. ):
Think after this I learn and realise that sometimes it is just worth it to get the ink of better quality at a higher price, at least you don't risk re-doing an entire card. Always remember to trial stamp to be able to grasps the correct pressure and amount of ink you need for different materials, as different materials absorb ink differently and some ink just take a longer time to dry.
