| ink pad  An inked pad used to apply ink to a rubber stamp. There are two main varieties of pads: pigment ink and dye ink. A pad with a raised surface (available at art supply stores) can be useful for inking large stamps, while smaller cat’s eye pads (made by Color Box) can be convenient to carry. Many letterboxers carry several different colors of pads with them to give their journals a bit of variety, while some carry colored water-based markers in order to carefully ink a single stamp with several different colors.
