Hello, you mention "Dye pad" and not "Ink pad", but wherever I search, it's called "Dye Ink Pad". Could you explain this, please? What do we need to get?

[artsencaustic]

@Alcator  There are 2 types of ink pads - Dye pads or Pigment pads. Pigments are ground up material so they have a dusty quality which smudges if the iron is wiped across them with wax. Dye Ink Pads are coloured with dyes which are chemical colourants and are not dusty particles. So these dye inks attach to the substrate (card or paper) in effect staining that area without any surface particles of dust. When use with the iron and wax they remain unaffected and do not smudge.
