These are not interchangeable. StazOn is for slick surfaces only...the container says not for use on cardstock or other porous surfaces, and they mean it...it's not good except on slick surfaces, where it's totally cool. The SU craft works great on colored cardstock. HTH!
Shows you how much I read labels!!! Craft White it'll be. Thanks stampers.

Wow! Good to know . . . amazing what you learn when you read . . . must be getting lazy. Thanks for the info!
I use black stazon for all my cards. I get a clearer image and can use watercolor pencils without the ink running. I do use white craft on dark cards. It takes longer to dry.
It's always great to learn some of the basics. I have another question regaring the SU! White Craft ink. Do I have to heat set it even if I'm not planning on embossing? For instance, if I just want to stamp an image on dark colored cardstock, do I still have to use the Heat Tool to set it? If so, how long do I need to do it for. The Craft ink rules are still very blurry to me.
When I use the craft white, I have to let it set for a while or carefully dried. I have trouble with detail using the white craft. I may be pressing too hard when I stamp. I try not to. I am glad to know about the stazon white.
When I used White Staz-on on a Christmas project the white never came off the stamp. I was very disappointed about that, but it worked absolutely great on the transparency sheets. I used my heavy duty stamp cleaners that will clean off black staz-on but it hardly touched it. I also used Staz-on cleaner...didn't work so good on the white. Anyone else have that experience?

SU! has formulated the Whisper White Craft pads differently from the other craft pads in order to get the really bright white people wanted. Yes, it is harder to get it off, but hang in there! I use Stampin' Mist and my Stampin' Scrub and rub hard--if it stays, you need more Stampin' Mist--don't be shy with it!

Something is different about the white StazOn -- must be the additive (usually titanium dioxide) used to make the ink opaque. In other media, that opaque additive really sticks. Add to that the fact that the ink is intended to be permanent, and you've got a combo that's VERY hard to clean.

I have the PTI white ink -Fresh Snow and really like it. I've also used the Colorbox Frost White and IMO the PTI Fresh Snow is brighter, whiter. But both are pigment inks not craft inks and I find that I have be careful not rub them until they are dry!

I sure appreciate this information, because I always hesitated to use white just because I didn't like to results. Sometimes when I can't get the white to come off, I have put it under some water witha a little gentle dish soap and then toweled it off. Hope I didn't do a bad thing.
