How do I dry pigment ink (stamp ink) on vellum paper fast?

Try using a differnt brand of ink. I prefer Stazon, and it comes in different colors. It is a permanent ink that dries quicker. You may also invest in a heat tool. The heated air coming out will set the ink faster. Using the heat tool you will need to practice the distance you hold the blower from the vellum to prevent burning and or spreading of the wet ink.
You may also want to stamp the vellum, then have a scratch paper there, turn the vellum face down and have the scratch paper absorb some of the ink from the vellum. Doing this, you will need to be very carefull not to slide the vellum and smear the wet ink.
You'll just need to see what works for you, and the different types of ink out there!

Don't overload the rubber stamp with ink in the first place, maybe do a test stamp on waste paper first to remove excess ink. Use a light hand when doing the impression on the vellum paper.
Without getting so close that you'll cook the paper, use a heat gun on the underside of the paper so the ink can cure/dry without direct air motion.

StazOn by Tsukineko is a fast drying, solvent ink and is, acording to the packaging "Appropriate for all surfaces. Designed especially for use on plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, laminated paper, coated paper and leather. Not recommended for fabric." StazOn is what I use but I have found that it takes differing times to try on different vellums - perhaps something to do with the quality of different vellums maybe? Do wash StazOn off your rubber stamps as soon as you can, especially if you are using the clear polymer stamps as they can damage them - StazOn will stain your rubber stamps but if washed off quickly will not affect them any other way. Also, be careful if you use a heat gun to dry any inks on vellum though as I have discovered that it warps (the vellum)if you are not very careful. Most "dye" inks I have found do not dry (quickly or at all) on vellum as they are water based and rely on the paper to "soak" up the ink, I would definately not recommend them for vellum.

Most regular pigment ink will not dry on non porous surfaces like vellum. You can try heat setting or embossing with embossing powder. But dye based ink or solvent inks like Staz-On are the best for vellum.

There's no fast way. If you blow on it you'll spread it.
