Tim Holtz Distress® Mini Archival Ink pads are waterproof, acid-free dye inks featuring the classic Distress color palette in the same fade resistant formula used in Ranger Archival Ink. Archival Inks are permanent on many surfaces, providing long lasting detailed stamping results that won’t bleed when used with water-based inks, markers, acrylic paint, and watercolors. Ink pads can be easily re-inked with the coordinating Tim Holtz Distress® Archival Ink Re-inker.
