I am somewhat new to stamping. I have a Get To Work Book that i want to use for my planner. What are the best kind of inks to use in that? I would like something that dries fast. What is the best black ink to use? Thank you.

Stazon, dries quickly. You can emboss with it if you very fast.

I have ranger dye ink in black, but I don't even know if they make that anymore. Dye inks dry pretty quick (not as fast as Staz-On, though!) and work on porous surfaces--is the get to work book just regular paper?

I think lasteve1 uses a GTWB - she might know which inks work best. Many dye inks bleed through planner pages so you might have to test out the inks you have (if you have any). |

While unfamiliar with GTWB/planners, I exclusively incorporate stamping into scrapping & only use VersaFine Clair (link to Blink Art Materials website), a quick-drying pigment ink that yields non-splotchy/crisp images/words & saturated/intense color (that is still embossable minutes later). VersaFine Clair Nocturne is a deep black. HTH. |

Clair (or VersaFine) is an excellent ink, but I have Staz-on as my core ink stash. It works on just about anything. I use it when I deco dominoes, pop cans, all sorts of metals, acetate, and plastics. It doesn't run or smudge. All my other inks have a purpose. Tsukineko has a ink/surface compatibility chart of their products.http://www.tsukineko.co.jp/english/common/pdf/surface.pdf#zoom=100. You'll need glasses and a magnifier to read it, but it's worth it to download. If you spend some time on their site you can get info on all their inks.

I used to use a Get to Work Book but did not stamp in it. I remember the paper being very thick and pen/ink friendly. Heba of My Little Journal uses a GTWB, and stamps in it a lot. She has said multiple times that its pages are very stamping/ink friendly. She seems to use a variety of dye and hybrid inks. Here is a link to one of her YT videos where she goes over how she uses it as a memory planner. She discusses several of the products she uses with it: Heba (My Little Journal) Get to Work Book Video |

I have used the gtwb in the past but I don't stamp a ton. i use stazon black when i do stamp and I don't have much of an issue. The paper quality is great.
