This is all well and good, might save you $10. But what happens when you need real supplies and the suppliers like Graphic Chemical and McClains and Dan Smith (to a greatly lesser degree) and the Baren mall no longer have our stuff or have gone out of business? I think we should support the suppliers that support our craft and artistic endeavors. Just my 2 cents worth.
Best to all,
Barbara

Turns out the company I named doesn't offer felt pads. However, I found
these suppliers of technical felt for printing on the web. The first
one listed says small orders are a specialty.

Has anyone used the Akua Intaglio inks? They're supposed to be
water-based, with gum binders, but are advertised as being water
resistant. As far as something goes that's not oil or polymer based, how
truly water resistant are they?

Thanks,
