Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks are manufactured by Ranger Industries in New Jersey in the United States.
In a press release e-mail sent just a few hours ago Ranger said, " Introducing 12 new colors of Tim Holtz Distress® Oxide Ink Pads, a water-reactive dye & pigment ink fusion that creates an oxidized effect when sprayed with water. Use with stamps, stencils and direct to surface. Blend using Ink Blending Tools and Foam. All oxide colors are available in 3" x 3" ink pads and coordinating .5 oz re-inkers.".
The first 12 colors of Distress Oxide Inks were released earlier this year at Creativation. Creativation ,formerly known as the CHA Mega Show, is the creative industries largest trade show that happens once a year in January. Since Creativation was moved to Phoenix last year I had the opportunity to finally attend. I saw these inks in person and knew they would be a hit. Retailers have been having a hard time keeping them on their shelves.
The 12 colors that were released in January:
This is a nice start for a palette of colors. The Distress Ink palette consists of 61 colors (including white) so we can only speculate that eventually we will get all of the Distress Ink colors in Distress Oxide Ink form.
Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks come in a 3 x 3" ink pad and retail for $5.99 each. Distress Inks are also offered in a mini cube form. We can only hope that Distress Oxides will eventually be released in this space saving option. Currently the white Distress Ink is not offered in the mini cube form. This can lead to speculation that maybe a formula such as distress oxide inks does not keep well on a smaller ink pad. I won't be holding my breathe that the Distress Oxides may be released in a smaller 1 x 1 " size.
