Midori Paintable Roller Stamp - Cat and Scenery

The Midori Paintable Roller Stamp "Cat and Scenery" rolls a continuous pattern band featuring three interlocking designs across the page: cats in varying poses, floral elements, and a geometric stained-glass pattern. The stamp comes pre-inked – no separate ink pad required – and uses oil-based pigment ink in black. What makes the Paintable series special: the oil-based ink dries water-resistant and can subsequently be coloured in with water-based pens or markers without smudging.

Features

• Three connected motifs in roller format: Cats in a row, floral shapes and a stained-glass-like geometric grid – the motifs connect seamlessly and can be used as a border, frame or page accent.
• Oil-based pigment ink, pre-inked: No separate ink pad needed. The ink is permanent and water-resistant – water-based markers, brush pens or watercolour pencils can be applied directly over the stamped image without smudging.
• Roller technology for even lines: Light, even pressure when rolling is all that's needed – no ruler, no repositioning. The stamp roller produces a continuous, clean line.
• Up to 40 metres of stamp band: Coverage per ink load; refillable with the separately available Paintable Roller Stamp Refill Ink (part number 35631-006).
• Three stackable individual stamps: The three motif rollers can be separated and combined with other sets from the Paintable Roller series or used individually.

Use & Tips

• Borders in planners or journals: Roll the stamp along the top or bottom page edge – the motif band fills the width of an A5 or A6 planner in one go. Light, even pressure is sufficient; pressing too hard applies too much ink.
• Allow to dry, then colour in: Allow to dry completely before applying water-based markers or brush pens. The oil-based ink allows colour to sit cleanly on the stamped surface without bleeding through.
• Frames and boxes: The geometric stained-glass motif works well as a border for notes, habit trackers or weekly overviews. Two parallel rows create a decorative box.
• Combining motifs: The three individual rollers can be used in any order – cat row as an accent, geometric band as a dividing line, floral motif as a page accent.
• Paper selection: On smooth, well-sized paper, the ink flows evenly and dries quickly. On very absorbent or rough papers, drying time may be longer and the line may appear slightly wider.
• Refilling: When impressions become paler, the ink load can be refreshed with the matching Refill Ink (35631-006) – the stamp is reusable long-term.

For Journal and Planner Enthusiasts

The oil-based pigment ink of the Paintable series is expressly not archival – it is designed for decorative applications where water-resistance against water-based media (markers, brush pens, watercolours) takes priority over long-term archival preservation. Those who subsequently work pages with alcohol-based markers should do a small test first, as solvent-containing inks can dissolve the oil-based stamp layer. On Tomoe River paper, which is available in the LUIBAN range, the ink dries slightly more slowly – a brief wait before colouring in is recommended.
