Specialized Inks for Every Marking Need

BC Stamp carries a wide selection of inks designed to mark everything from standard paper to challenging industrial surfaces. Whether you're stamping on wood, metal, plastic, fabric, or glass, we’ll help you choose the right ink for the job.

Here’s a quick guide to recommended inks based on surface type:

  • Paper & Cardboard: Use Water-Based Dye Inks for fast-drying, crisp impressions.
  • Glossy Paper & Photos: Use Solvent-Based Inks for permanent, smudge-resistant results.
  • Metal & Plastics: Try Industrial-Grade Permanent Inks for adhesion on non-porous surfaces.
  • Glass & Ceramics: Use Fast-Dry Solvent Inks that bond to slick surfaces.
  • Wood & Leather: Pigment-Based Inks provide bold, saturated color with staying power.
  • Fabric: Choose Textile-Safe Inks for washable, lasting marks.

If you don’t see the marking surface or ink you need, please reach out — we’re happy to recommend a solution tailored to your specific application.
