What I have found is the BEST small ink pads out there, are Artnic/Colorcubes by Yasutomo & Co. I debated over which small pads to go with, (either these or Cats Eyes) and I picked these. I'm so glad I did. I have every color (70-80 pads), they take up less space than larger pads, and the colors I use often, I reink. They are plenty wet, and I haven't had any problems with drying out. Anyway, hope this helps.
