FAQ's - Paper
 
I’ve tried to tint my glossy photo paper with Distress Inks and I’m not getting the results I expected. What happened?

Photo paper has a different chemical make up than gloss cardstock. Each photo paper manufacturer makes their paper differently and it is not necessarily compatible with dye inks. Experiment with different brands to see what works for you.

Ranger Gloss Paper cardstock is a clay-based paper that works well with Distress and other dye inks.
 
I’ve stamped Gloss Paper with pigment ink and it isn’t drying. Why not?

Pigment ink alone will never dry on glossy cardstock. You must apply embossing powder and heat emboss the image on the cardstock.
 
How can I use Perfect Pearls with Gloss Paper?

There are several techniques you can use with Gloss Paper. (1) Stamp with
Perfect Medium and dust with Perfect Pearls on the glossy side of the cardstock. Heat set with Ranger Heat It Craft Tool to set the Perfect Pearls-some powder will dust off with a brush, but most will set. (2) Use any Perfect Pearls techniques on the matte side of the cardstock.
