A little review for anyone interested:
I've really come to enjoy using this ink. Maybe it's because the ink is acrylic, but the ink clots significantly less on pen tips than most other inks. As I enjoy mixing mediums, I can safely use watercolour and other wet mediums without having to worry about the ink running.
My only grief with the product is the bottle design. The pipette with the standard bottle is a poor combination as those bottles are easy to tip over and god help you if you accidentally touch the edge of the bottle with the pipette while trying to take the lid off. I think an easy improvement would just be to make the bottle more triangular in shape to make it harder to tip over.
If you're just interested in the black ink I would highly recommend the 150ml bottle. You get X5 the product for less than X3 the price.
Thank you for sharing your review D. L. Claxton! We appreciate your critique of the ink bottle design and will pass on your suggestions to Liquitex. You can always send product suggestions or product improvement ideas to us at cs@jerrysartarama.com. We are always interested in hearing what our customers think.
One more thing you forgot to mention that the lid separates from the dropper... not sure if that was an oversight in your explanation or what? this feature allows you to quickly get back to the ink for more with out all the twisting of caps to keep the ink from drying up..
cool, huh!?! Keep creating James!
Hi. I'm trying to paint some fine lines and small letters. Using a thin paint brush isn't working very well. I've tried using acrylic paint pen markers but they do t look thst great. I'm trying to paint over black gesso and the markers look a little cloudy and not very vibrant. Also they scratch off even though they are supposed to be permenant. Would the liquitex acrylic ink show up better and be less likely to rub or scratch off say if I used gold or white on top of black gesso? Do you have any other recommendations from the liquitex range that would work well on top of black gesso.
We completely understand the struggle of using a brush for fine lines and lettering! Our favorite method is to use an acrylic ink, like the Liquitex Acrylic Inks, and apply it with a dip pen! That way it's still applying a good amount of vibrant acrylic, but in nice thin lines. We would suggest you test the process out on a smaller canvas first though! That way you don't have to go through the frustrations of learning a new technique on a larger piece!

I’ve tried the deep colours pouring set, the colours are great but even when what I make looks good, when it dries, it all blends to a dark brown and the colours are not separate. I’m using a few drops of ink, is this wrong?
Ive have experienced the exact same thing. It looked awesome when it was live but, when it dried it turned into a gross dark colour. Im new to acrylic ink so i have no idea what im doing wrong? I used very little ink too
skid art Same here, my painting looked awesome before it dried but quickly started to turn into a muddy brown. I tried six small paintings, before with very similar results. One was good, I don’t know why. I asked several RUclips artists, all using ink and pouring but no one had an answer. I have tried two with ordinary acrylic with spectacular results. Very frustrating.
@@SiFlatman98 oh i primed a piece of wood and redid it the colors look good. I primed it with acrylic paint
Dear Kaluw-- We had our Resident Artist speak with the Resident Artist at Liquitex about your post. Both are thinking maybe the ink amount that you are adding is too little, and the transparency of the medium is making the colors look brown as they are creating a layering effect when drying- the transparency is so much that it is not masking the colors below, making the combination appear brown. Their Resident Artist provided this link, and said following the paint/ink to pouring medium percentages yields the best results... www.liquitex.com/us/products/professional/gessoes-mediums-varnishes/pouring-medium/
@@JerrysartaramaArtSupply thank you!
besides viscosity and transparency, what is the difference between acrylic paint and acrylic ink?
@Rosemary Clark - that's pretty much it! Acrylic ink and acrylic paint are essentially the same thing: pigment + acrylic polymer.
@@JerrysartaramaArtSupply so, since that's true, why can I not just water down the heavy body paint to get the acrylic ink? I noticed that you answered that re someone else's question, but I still don't understand why that won't work. Thanks!
Greetings from Mumbai, India. I am a resin artist and seen many resin artworks using acrylic inks mixed with epoxy resin. I can purchase Liquitex acrylic inks in my country but before buying (they’re quite expensive) may I request you to please tell me if I can mix these inks with epoxy resin. Thank you for your reply.
Thank you for the question! Yes you technically can mix these inks into epoxy resin, but it can behave differently in a manner that is less desirable. You should always do a test first, but some acrylic inks can cause resin to crack or not cure at all. The best ink to use in resin is alcohol ink because it evaporates and leaves behind consistent color.
@@JerrysartaramaArtSupply Many thanx for your reply. I wanted to try the larimar technique which is done by so many and all use acrylic inks as one cant get the effect by using alcohol inks. Will keep what you said in mind. Thanx again.
Would this be alright to use on latex/rubber? I'm trying to find a good medium for blushing elf ears that is permanent and won't rub away like pastels
I hope we are not too late for you Juliette. Yes, you can use this acrylic ink to color your rubber ears. Most doll artists use acrylic paint on vinyl dolls, plastic dolls, hard plastic dolls, composition dolls, and more. We suggest you use a high quality acrylic satin or gloss sealer to professionally seal the paint to the rubber.
I bought some acrylic ink and some of the droppers have dried ink in the dropper, how can I get the dried ink out?
As long as it's only a thin layer inside the dropper, the best way we've found to remove dried ink is to fully remove the lid & dropper and soak it in soapy water for a while. Don't forget to seal the open bottle of ink up with plastic wrap or something to keep the air exposure to a minimum for the ink in the bottle! Also, it's best to remove the hard plastic part of the dropper away from the rubber/lid area - wiggle it and pull it out (careful to do this after you get any wet ink off it - otherwise it can splatter!).
After it's soaked, squeeze it in the water a bit to break the dried acrylic away from the rubber part of the eye dropper, and you should be able to use a combination of q-tips and rags to remove a good portion of the dried ink.
Thanks. How quickly do they dry
@Zuheyr Alsalihi they are acrylics, so they do dry relatively fast. The exact amount of time it takes though depends on your environment: humidity, temperature, wind, etc. can effect the dry time and make it go faster or slower.
I know this is from two years ago, but I own a set of liquitex acrylic inks and they ruin my brushes. I'm tried normal water, soap and water, nail polish, and paint thinner, yet the ink just stays in my brushes.
I am sorry that you have had trouble cleaning your acrylic ink brushes in the past. The Liquitex company suggests soaking your used brushes in Liquitex Professional Pen Cleaner for a thorough clean. The cleaner is designed to clean Acrylic Ink from paintbrushes, airbrush parts, and technical and dip pens. Use the low-odor formula to rinse your tools after use and before the ink has dried. If the ink has already dried, soak the brush in Pen Cleaner, leave it to work for a few minutes, test to see if the crusted color comes off, and then rinse with water. Leave for a little longer if the paint is thick. You can find the pen cleaner on this page of our website www.jerrysartarama.com/liquitex-professional-acrylic-ink.
Will it dry over black fades if I were to use it for tattoo flash?
As in I would like to add colour last but still see my blacks underneath?
@NEWBURYTATTOO This is an opaque ink, so unfortunately it will cover any line work beneath it. A transparent ink or a liquid watercolor, such as Ecoline, might work better for what you want.
Can this be mixed with watercolors?
@ginakelly11 - These acrylic inks work well when used on top of dried watercolors. Unfortunately, too much water mixed with any acrylic based medium will cause the acrylic-polymer bonds to break apart. This means that they could start to look somewhat blotchy when mixed with wet watercolor.
I had a bottle of GOLD Liquitex ink and it was chunky like spoiled milk but thicker. I don't know what happened to it. Possibly my fault and maybe I should start checking things when I first receive them. I'll mark it off as a learning experience.
Sorry to hear about that James. It's a good idea to always check your orders when they arrive as things can happen in transport. I am not sure how long it's been since the item arrived. The Customer Service number is: 1-800-827-8478
will these fade if i use them to make faux stained glass mixed into resin? Will be indoors in my studio/greenhouse.
will they last in color at least maybe 15 years i should say.
Thanks for the question Jocelyn. All resins act differently, and the lightfastness rating depends on the color (not to mention using as a stained glass typically means exposure to a lot of sunshine - which can fade things much faster).
Would you get the same or very similar medium as acrylic ink if you just watered down normal acrylic paint?
@ColourWaveArt While you would get a similar consistency, you would not get the same thing at all by mixing water into your acrylics.
Think of it like glue: if you were to mix water into your glue, you'd get a nice fluid glue - but it would be much weaker because of the water. Same issue with Acrylics: you're pushing the acrylic polymers (the binder that makes it "stick" down) further and further away from each other and creating a very weak bond. This can cause issues with your paint pulling back up if you try to layer them on, or even possibly flaking off once they're dry.
If you're looking to have versatility with your acrylics without having to buy all the colors over again in ink, you should use an acrylic medium! There are so many that add in the acrylic polymer without pigment, so you get a nice thin acrylic with zero adhesion issues. My personal favorite is the airbrush medium. Thins out the liquitex acrylics nicely:

hi, do you think this ink is good for inking on celluloid sheet (plastic sheet)?
yes it is, I have used it in glass and works really good
This one slipped past us, so sorry it's been so long Pino. I am guessing after all this time you have found an answer but if not and for those looking at the video here you go..... You can use acrylic paints and inks on a wide variety of surfaces. Liquitex recommends trying Acrylic Ink on stretched canvas, paper & board, wood, plaster, and fabric. I have never personally used acrylic ink on celluloid sheets. Still, I know that matte acetate, textured acetate and wet-media acetate (also called “prepared acetate”) are a suitable surface for acrylic paints. Smooth acetate is not a recommended surface for acrylic ink. Acrylic inks and paints can be applied to Mylar without surface preparation. Mylar is a film that has all the properties and uses of acetate with additional flexibility and strength. Much higher in price than acetate, Mylar does not stretch, crack, or yellow. It is available with a photosensitive surface for the reproduction of line drawings and a wet-media. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Hey can these inks be used on acrylic sheets with pointed or dip pen??
@Gurmeet Kaur You should be able to use these on acrylic sheets. We would suggest you test out a small sample first though. Be sure to clean any oils or debris off the surface before you work on it too; any fingerprints or areas where you touched it can have adhesion issues.
Great Video! My liquitex iridescent gold ink has become really thick and gummy. How can I dilute it?
Thanks for the question Amna. If the ink is sealed properly it shouldn't be thick and gummy. What can happen if it sits for a while is that the heavier pigments settle to the bottom of the bottle. I'd first try shaking vigorously to remix the settled pigment. That may simply do the trick. Otherwise thickness suggests that the ink is drying out. While a medium like airbrush can be used, so can Flow Aid but it should be noted that Flow Aid is an additive and different than a medium in that it doesn't contain a binder
www.liquitex.com/us/products/professional/gessoes-mediums-varnishes/?tab=additives
I closed the lid tight of the ink bottle then put it in a cup full of hot water. Shake lightly. Might take a few hours.
hi can the ink be used for fluid pour paintings?
Yes, you can use acrylic ink with pouring medium to create a fluid pour painting. There are many pouring recipes on the internet that use acrylic ink. Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink a lightfast and water-resistant. Unlike acrylic paint, which is opaque and thick, acrylic ink is liquid and available in opaque, semi-opaque, and transparent formulas. There are many colors to choose from, as well as pearlescent, metallic, and fluorescent shades.
Thank You
You're welcome David! Keep Creating
Do these inks allow for erasing techniques for airbrushing i.e. can a hard eraser go down to the gesso or whatever your painting on when freshly applied and later on just erase layers? I know some India inks do it but not sure about acrylics.
Thank you for contacting us. Once dry, the acrylic color cannot be wiped off or erased from the canvas. You could make a correction with a dry color shaper tool while the acrylic ink is still wet on the canvas. You can use our Color Shifters to remove wet color www.jerrysartarama.com/fx-effects-color-shifters.
If I add some of the ink and add it to a plastic palette well and I leave it, will it dry hard and become unusable?
Sorry to get back to you so late JB. Yes, if you leave acrylic ink on a palette, it will dry out and become unusable. Once acrylic ink has dried, it is no longer soluble and cannot be used again as an ink. You could still clean and remove the dried acrylic ink from the plastic and reuse the palette.
hi, can the ink be used to color epoxy resin? thanks.
@W Kho that greatly depends on the resin you are using! Some of the more hardware grade epoxy resins can have a strange reaction when adding in a liquid acrylic (some might crack when curing, others might not fully cure and stay gooey). If you use one that's meant to be tinted, like ArtResin, you'll have a much lower chance of strange reactions. We would suggest you do a small test to see what happens, and you can find the ArtResin here: www.jerrysartarama.com/artresin-resin-kits
Will acrylic ink work on leather?
Thank you for contacting us. Liquitex acrylic ink can be used on stretched canvas, paper, wood, plaster, or fabric. Liquitex acrylic ink is not recommended for use on leather, but you could always test it on a scrap leather surface. The Jacquard company makes a product called Lumiere that is perfect for painting on leather. www.jerrysartarama.com/jacquard-lumiere-fabric-colors Lumiere paints won’t crack, peel, or chip, even on flexible surfaces like fabric, leather, vinyl, or rubber.
@@JerrysartaramaArtSupply thank you
Can you use in air brush
yes
I am sorry we haven't gotten back to you sooner. Yes! Liquitex Professional Acrylic Inks are ideal for airbrushing. They do not need to be thinned, have little to no odor, and are easily cleaned up with water. Liquitex has a full page of information about airbrushing with acrylic ink that you can view here www.liquitex.com/us/tips/airbrushing/. You can also use the acrylic ink in Pouring techniques, when doing Pen & Inks, or to create washes of color with a brush. As Liquitex's lowest viscosity acrylic, the ultra-fluid formula is ideal for fine and flowing applications and techniques. You can add a professional medium to adjust it further.
*THANK YOU!!! Very helpful!!!*
You bet! Glad to be of help. For more videos about everything ARTful: ruclips.net/channel/UCeZH97Xe5u6CGKjieO3nTYA?view_as=subscriber
@@JerrysartaramaArtSupply Thank you.....
can you use it in technical pens???
We do apologize for not getting back to you in a more timely manner. Yes, you can use dip, quill, or technical pens with Liquitex Acrylic Ink. The acrylic ink is smooth flowing, quick-drying, and water-resistant once dry. You can use the dropper attached to the Acrylic Ink lid to fill your technical pen. After you have used the technical pen, you can soak any used pen parts in Liquitex Professional Pen Cleaner for a thorough ink-free clean. For more tips and tricks you can look at this page on the Liquitex website www.liquitex.com/row/tips/pen-ink/
Acrylic ink is better than Chinese/Indian ink!
This guy is wasting ink and not creating any art! Makes me angry! So irritating to watch people like this.
it's a demo
Sorry you feel that way Samson. But Kimberly is right, it is a demo.
