Default Papertrey stamps, ink

I just received my first 2 sets of papertrey stamps. The instructions suggested that you use either pigment or chalk inks. I tried these two different inks and did not like the results. Next, I tried using SU's classic ink pads and thought I got a much better stamped image. Anyone else had this experience?

Yes, I prefer the SU classic ink on these stamps.

I tried them with pigment inks first.... but Igot a much better result using SU's classic inks. Then last night I used pigments after they were "broken in" and the images came out much better. I still prefer the classic though, and I was impressed with how well they worked with the acrylics.

Classic inks for me as well.
My chalk ink (brown) really initiated my very first stamp...able to see the print clearer tho.

According to her blog, SU's classic inks are even Nicole's favorite for use on her stamps.

I prefer the chalk ink, but I do really like the classic, too!

I also tried chalk inks first but I didn't care for the look either. I do like some colors with craft ink but overall I say the classic ink works best for me.
