FAQs
What surfaces can I use Dylusions Ink Spray on?
You can use Dylusions Ink Spray on most porous surfaces, including paper, cardstock, watercolor paper, canvas (sticky-back), fabric (pre-washed), wood, and unfired clay.
Is the White Linen ink spray opaque or transparent?
The White Linen ink spray is a concentrated colorant. Its opacity can vary depending on the application. Light misting will be more transparent, while spraying closer or building up layers will increase opacity.
How do I prevent oversaturation?
Apply in light, even coats from a distance of 8-12 inches. Allow each layer to dry slightly before applying another if needed. Test on a scrap piece of the same material first.
Can I layer Dylusions Ink Sprays with other mediums?
Yes, Dylusions Ink Sprays are designed to be layered with other Dylusions products and many other mixed media supplies like markers, paints, and stamps once dry.
Is this ink permanent once dry?
Once dry, the ink is generally permanent and water-resistant, making it suitable for mixed media projects. However, extreme saturation or submersion in water may cause some reactivation.
How long does a 2oz bottle typically last?
Longevity depends on usage frequency and application technique. For occasional use on art journal pages, a bottle can last for many projects. Frequent or heavy application will reduce its lifespan.
Can I use this on home décor items?
Yes, the ink is suitable for home décor projects, especially on porous surfaces like unfinished wood or certain treated fabrics. Ensure adequate ventilation during application.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer nozzle is clogged.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water. Use a fine needle or pin to gently clear any dried ink from the opening. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
Ink is not spraying evenly.
Ensure the bottle is shaken vigorously before each use. Check that the nozzle is clean and free from obstructions. Adjust your spraying distance; too close can cause pooling, too far can cause uneven mist.
Color appears dull or weak.
Apply additional light coats. Ensure the surface is porous and properly prepared. For lighter colors, consider applying over a white or light-colored base layer.
Ink bleeds excessively on paper.
Use a heavier weight paper or a paper specifically designed for mixed media or watercolor. Consider applying a clear gesso or primer to the surface before spraying to reduce absorbency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the pigment is evenly dispersed. Remove the cap and hold the bottle upright, approximately 8-12 inches away from your surface. Press the nozzle firmly and evenly to spray.
Compatibility: This ink spray is designed for use on porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, watercolor paper, mixed media paper, fabric (pre-washed), sticky-back canvas, wood, and unfired clay. It is generally not recommended for non-porous surfaces like glass or plastic, as adhesion and permanence may be compromised.
Care: Store the ink spray upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent drying out. To clean up any accidental spills or overspray, wipe the affected area immediately with a damp cloth or sponge. Dried ink may require gentle scrubbing or specialized art cleaners depending on the surface.
