Not sure where to start with inking? Archival ink mini pads are a great way to try out a range of colors without committing to a full collection. Each kit puts several coordinating shades right at your fingertips so you can mix, match and figure out what you love before buying more.

These Ranger ink pads are waterproof and fade-resistant once dry, which means your stamped images stay crisp and clean, even if you go over them with watercolor or other wet mediums. That's a big deal when you're doing layered or mixed media work and don't want your stamped details to bleed or smear.

Mini kits are also just a smart, tidy way to keep your craft space organized especially if you store them in the Mini Archival Ink Storage Tin. If you want to round out your collection, the full-size of Archival Ink Pads have even more colors to explore.

FAQs

What's the appeal of a mini archival kit?

Same permanent, fade-resistant ink, just sized down for portability, variety, smaller hands, smaller storage or smaller budgets. They are cute and collectable and  pair especially well with mini ink blending tools.

Will mini archival ink bleed if I layer watercolor or markers over a stamped image?

No, the mini ink pads are the same great Archival Ink formula. . Once it dries, the stamped lines stay crisp even under water-based color, so the image doesn't blur or bleed into the wash on top of it.

How many colors come in each mini kit?

Each kit has four coordinating colors, which makes it easier to build a themed palette a few shades at a time, instead of grabbing single pads at random.

Can mini archival pads be re-inked like the full-size ones?

Yes. Each color has a matching re-inker, so a fading or low pad gets a few drops and keeps going instead of heading to the trash.

Are these good for stamping on glossy or non-porous surfaces?

They are. Archival ink is built to hold up on slicker materials where standard dye ink tends to smear, and the mini kits carry that same advantage, just in a smaller size.
