What is the difference between Dye Inks and Pigment Inks ?

There are so many different inks on the market today that it can sometimes be quite difficult to understand all of their uses, so I aim to keep this quite simple.

Firstly,Dye Inks – examples of this would be the all important Memories dye ink, or for a little colour, the Kaleidacolour pads. With these you cannot heat emboss, as they dry very quickly.

To emboss, you need to use Pigment ink pads, as the ink takes longer to dry, and therefore gives you longer to apply your embossing powder.
