The only other two I really use are Brilliance (so beautiful!) and StazOn. Brilliance is a pigment ink that dries really fast and it has a shimmer to it. Hope that helps!

I second that...I don't really trust anything else.

I love the palette hybrid inks. They dry fast like SU classic inks but work like stazon. They are archival safe which is great for scrapbooking and they work on fabric. They are a great all purpose ink.
I also love brilliance and opalite pads. Their results are just beautiful

I happen to be a fan of Colorbox (pigment) and Colorbox Chalk ink. I buy the little cat's eyes--there's an incredible variety of colors. Even some metallics. Some colors match SU inks/papers, although it takes a little detective work to find out which ones. Some people don't like Colorbox, but so far I love 'em.

I love the Palette Hybrid inks, too. I've been buying the sets of spots and want to kick myself that I've waited so long to get them.

Oh my... let me see...

Ranger Adirondacks (just incredible color range)
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inks (especially the colors! The brick red is phenomenal... I also use black soot and old paper a lot)
Colorbox Chalk inks... I think I have the cat's eye pads in EVERY color, and probably use them more than any of my other inks
Versafine instant dry pigment ink... I only have a couple colors, but the Onyx Black is really amazing
CTMH... a couple colors that SU! doesn't have
Fabrico/Versacraft... for fabric stamping
Of course, Versamark...

I think that's about it. Really, I do. :grin:

I mostly use CTMH but I love the Brilliance inks too.

There are other inks????? Just kidding, while I do LOVE SU ink, I also use the brilliance inks and coloxbox chalks.

I own lots and lots of other ink pads too, but these are the only ones I ever seem to use!

I love VersaMagic chalk inks. They have a lot of the soft subtle shades which are just great.

Versafine is very nice for really detailed stamps.

Superior India Ink Black is good for watercoloring.

Another Palette fan. I only have black, brown and grey so far but plan to venture into colors. I have two Antiquities pads that I like alot, but they have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Default Inks

Let's see I really like Adirondack's but I think you have to like the colors to really be into those. Lot's of earthy type colors there. Colorbox inks are also very good. Marvy matchables are pretty cool and are easy to find. Brillance pads are great for stamping on vellum. Oh I love the kalidcolor ones with the seperations some of them are sold by SU. I really like the SU colors but my complaint about the pads is that they aren't very even which frustrates me because I've never had that problem with ink pads before. I know you can use shims and such but I'd rather have the product be what it should be. Please don't flame me for that. ;)
