Hero Arts AF251 Ink, Blackboard 4-Cube Pack

I ordered so many ink pads and these were hands down the best quality!!!!! Small but mighty

Too small for my stamp. Hard to hold without getting ink all over my fingers.

I like the colors and packaging only getting the lids off them was a little tricky, but not that difficult

These neon inks by Hero are fantastic! They work on kraft card- will not show up on black.If you smoosh on your surface, you can add water and get many different shades- useful on white card when using layering stencils as you can start with a light touch for first layer and go deeper in color as you layer up! Many YouTube videos using the Neons. They were sold out everywhere but Amazon now has them for a better price!

These are juicy, bright, and *very* neon.My only issue with these is that they claim to be a dye ink that is water based, yet they perform more like a solvent ink. They do not react with water at all (once the ink is on the paper, it stays there, and cannot be lifted or "activated" with water, like the Distress inks) and layering two different colors isn't very successful at all- it results in a weird, splotchy finish instead of a nice blended color.And cleaning this off stamps is very difficult.That being said, these inks are BEAUTIFUL for what they are- they dry to an even, smooth, BRIGHT color. Even the most finicky and hard-to-ink clear stamps take this ink wonderfully. And if you do watercolor, you can use this ink to stamp your outlines without worrying that the water and paint will "lift" the color and blur your images.So while you can't use these inks like Distress or blend them, they leave a solid stamped image, dry beautifully and smoothly, and have amazing colors that are not available in true water-based inks.

Great deal for the price. Most other suppliers sell the same color group for about $10 so, there is the first benefit buying from this seller here on Amazon. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that the actual color on the front sticker label is not quite accurate. The actual colors are richer and more saturated. So, if you decide to buy them, expect the colors to be darker than appears (and it's not a monitor thing, you'll see when you receive them....it's the manufacturer sticker. The pads were full, not a bit dry. Basically, they're exactly as described other than the colors being a bit off (I'll try to update with photos as soon as I have some white scrap card stock) Overall, I'm happy with my purchase that arrived on time with my Prime.

A great selection of neutral colors at a great price, but I had a hard time getting a good print, I think the inks were dried out.

Lovely shades for layered stamping.Might look splotchy on some types of paper when initially stamped but dries evenly.I love the size of the ink cubes as they are easier to appt to the stamp especially the small ones without messing up the misti or clear block..Only downside for me is that in alot of the cube sets the colors are duplicated...I have looked for and bought 5 sets that have no repeatsI wish thebcubes could be bought separately as well.

Firstly, I have to say that this product came very well packaged and arrived much quicker than expected considering it was sent from the USA so I was very pleased with that. But the actual product I am not too impressed with. The cubes are tiny, I expected them to be small as they are the mini versions but they were even smaller than I expected, because of this I find them quite tricky to work with as you can't get a good grip on them. The ink quality isn't what I was expecting either, I find it difficult to get good coverage when stamping with these inks, it is almost like they have dried out. The colours are much darker than they look in the image, especially the top green colour. All in all I was quite unimpressed with these inks and I don't think I will purchase anymore.

Bought these in the hope that they would stamp well with solid stamps but I was disappointed to find that they are still blotchy. I know it is not my stamps as I am using a well seasoned stamp which does stamp solid with other inks. The colours are pretty and they do dry less blotchy but still not solid. They have crisp edges and are fine for words and more detailed stamping, just not what I wanted them for. Good value for money with 4 colours in one pack.

Unfortunately, one of my cubes (gold) was dry. Other reviews have had the same problem. I'm surprised coming from such a reputable company. Wasn't worth the hassle getting a new one so I'll just use the rest. Ink colours are okay.

Not what I expected. I mean I expected the size to be small but the inks aren't great. I would have returned it but I ran out of time as I was away on a family emergency for the duration of the 30day limit to ship the item back.The problem ink in this set is the blue (the rest are ok..not the best). It is soooooooooo light that it barely stamps on my paper. I had to do it 4x and even then it still looked faded so 2 stars for this product. Not sure I'd be ordering Hero Arts ink cubes again..to expensive to waste on a 1x1 ink pad that doesn't seem to have enough pigment/ink to start with :(
