Betterpress Ink Hack

Welcome!
Join me in part 2 of the Spellbinders Betterpress Letterpress hacks, this time with different inks!
We all need to use what we have, I know I do, I have such a limited amount of room ad storage, I need to make things work with what I have wherever possible.
Do other inks work with the Betterpress system? Short answer yes, long answer-are they as good as the Betterpress ink specially formulated for the system?? Watch the video, experiment with what you have, and you will have your answer.
The inks I tried are:
Betterpress Ink -Black
Hero Arts- Shadow ink- Navy
Altenew Crisp Dye Ink- Jet black
SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink-Woodsy
Catherine Pooler- Premium Dye ink- Black Jack
Versafine Clair -Pigment Ink-Nocturne
Lawn Fawn cube-Licorice
Gina K Amalgam ink cube Obsidian
Tsukineko Brilliance- Galaxy Gold
Altenew-Fresh Dye Ink- Velvet
Ranger-Archival- Sepia
Catherine Pooler Archival Midnight
Distress Oxide- Black Soot
Hero Arts-Hues- Black
Dew Drop-Brilliance- Galaxy Gold.

Really helpful, thanks and have a beautiful day x

[@sallysnowball1866]

Thank you for this comprehensive ink test. Just wonderful.

[@carollewis1644]

Great video! Thanks for all of the helpful information. It's greatly appreciated!

[@darrellfurgison9421]

I might reink my ink pads are try some formulations again. I got great coverage with brilliance, archival, and my regular hero arts but my pads were freshly inked so I knew I had good coverage

[@mpbailey18]

Well done!! Been waiting to hear about different inks and different papers before buying. Thank you!

[@thecraftywhisk]

I'm so glad the video helped you, we need to use what we have!

[@robincooper9323]

Thank you for doing all this testing for us! It is very much appreciated. Very informative.

[@lizhubbard1369]

Thanks for the comprehensive testing of inks! Very helpful. May I note that although the Versafine Claire tested as "excellent" it is missing from your final summary. I expect one's choice of ink would also depend on intended coloring (if any) after printing, in case of bleeding etc.

@The Crafty Whisk • Ollie: What well organized, well presented comparisons of the inks. Thank you for doing so much of the work for us. 👍

[@thecraftywhisk]

Thank you for taking the time to watch, I'm so glad the video helped!

[@kristinevencel2898]

Interesting results in your video. Since it was a year ago maybe you have updated your choices? I have seen other videos using some of these inks with great results by inking more than once. Have you tried that yet? Thanks for being brave and showing us your choices. I love that!

[@Talia926]

That was awesome. Thanks for testing those inks.

[@ebriggs3498]

My inks are almost all Stampin Up, the older, cloth pad design. Will have to experiment. Thanks for all work!❤️

[@thecraftywhisk]

You are so welcome!

[@elizabethharris8692]

thank you for this info

[@guardself921]

Great video. I don’t have a betterpress yet, but I’ve been curious on what other inks would work well.

[@thecraftywhisk]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kathleensack9843]

What are you using to have your paper to stick on you plate that you take off, to look at your paper. Thank you for your time.

[@thecraftywhisk]

I’m using a sticky sheet from sizzix, it helps so much, I show it in my video about paper hacks for the betterpress! Thank you for watching ☺

[@debi6511]

I noticed you didn’t use any tape. What do you have on the top plate so it sticks! Thanks for the video!😊

[@carolyntracey5256]

What are you using to stick the paper on the plate?

[@thecraftywhisk]

I'm using Sizzix sticky grid sheets, they come 5 to a pack and I cut them down to whatever size I need, great for in stamp positioning tools too (eg:Misti), the stick does wear off but they are pretty inexpensive to buy. They are eant to be used on the sizzix big shot platforms to hold the dies or paper in place.
