Alcohol Inks are acid-free, fast drying and when combined with two or more colors produce beautiful batik and hand-dyed effects. These inks go a long way as the colors are very vivid and strong. They can also be used on glossy paper, metal, glass, and other slick surfaces. Great for scrapbooking.
Also available are the luminous, fast drying, acid free Metallic Mixatives in pearl, copper, silver and gold. When combined with the Alcohol Inks, they produce luminous highlights.
The Adirondack Blending solution is specially formulated to lighten and blend the colors of the Alcohol Inks.
Use the Dowling stamp applicator for best results.
