    Get a brilliance one, they are superb for bright pigmented colours, and the metallic ones are super, as far as quick drying I m not sure if there s an instantly dry one out there but the Brilliance should not have to be heath set and it won t take that long.

    The Brilliance ink is super but I have the dew drop pads and - contrary to Monica - I find they take an absolute age to dry and always resort to the heat gun.

    My silver Brilliance also takes a while to dry - I have yet to find a dye-based silver inkpad, they all seem to be pigment ones

    It is because a dye ink will not be bright enough specially in metallics,because is missing concentrated pigment.
    I ve been cardmaking from the days when you couldn t get any coloured ink pads all you got was black, glod, silver and copper and I haven t come across any fast drying ones in all those years, so Suzzane I don t quite understand where exactely we re not agreeing on this .
