Copic tips

Many people are having problems with colouring stamped images with Copic pens.
Images stamped in Stazon are smudging, this is apparently because both the Stazon & Copics are alchol based.

Stamping inks- What works with Copic?

There are so many factors that go into each type of ink that it is hard to say what will work without trial and error. I know that I get great results from Tsukineko Memento Dye-based inks. Some people like the Ranger Adirondack Inks, and some prefer Heat-Set Tsukineko Brilliance. Stamp pads are not cheap, so it's frustrating when your favorite ink bleeds with the markers. Solvent inks, like StazOn don't work well, however, if you never color over the line these may work for you.

If you need help to get the best out of your Copic pens then here is a link that is sure to help.
