Refresher on Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads and Ink Refills!

I understand when a whole year has gone by and we seem to remember something about what not to do with ink refills when the new firm foam ink pads debuted. I’ve had several people ask me about old ink refills versus new ink
refills and old ink pads versus new ink pads, reinking the ink pads.
Here was the update from a year ago that explained this in detail:

Please note: Five ink colors have undergone formula
changes to improve functionality and color stability with the new firm
foam pads. These colors are

• Basic Black
• Basic Gray
• Marina Mist
• Perfect Plum
• Tempting Turquoise

All five colors of the reformulated inks have been fully tested and
approved. While using the new ink formula in the old Stampin’ Pads is
fine, we do not recommend using the old ink formula for these five
colors in the new firm foam pads. Any refills purchased after April 30,
2012, will contain the new formulated ink.

We do not recommend using the Basic Black Classic Stampin’ Pad on
Whisper White or Very Vanilla Card Stock. Instead, we recommend you use
the StazOn Ink Pad.

I would recommend printing
this and keeping it with your ink refills for reference. If you do not
own any of these 5 old ink refills, please disregard this post as you are all set!
