Jaquard must have a website. Hmmm ..
I looked, they do, quite pricy at $12-15 each, depending on color.
 

Maybe that's why it covers so well. It's expensive! But if I needed white ink , I'd still get it. Some things are worth their price to me, vs. me flipping out over unwanted results

I use acrylic pens, not sure what you need them for but come in sizes from fine tip to thick. Cheap on Temu. I love them and use them all the time. I even paint small items such as wood stars. I will be posting a layout sthis week which will show you how I used them

Would you use acrylic pens to ink up stamps? I mostly use clear stamps, rarely rubber stamps.

You're right, I might need to bite the bullet. 
Do you have pics of any examples you could post?
I have some Colorbox metallic inks that I was hopeful would give good coverage but they disappointed.

I don't know as I don't use stamps but I am editing this because I just tried. Now remember I don't do stamps but I would not use them . I tried and I could not get a consistent coverage.

No, sorry I do not. I only dig stamping stuff and ink out when I absolutely have to. I can weed the most intricate cut file rather than stamp an image in place. Lol
