FAQs
What surfaces can I use Dylusions Ink Spray on?
Dylusions Ink Spray is designed for porous surfaces like paper, cardstock, canvas, wood, and raw clay. It provides vibrant results on these materials.
Is this ink permanent once dry?
The ink is considered permanent on most porous surfaces once fully dry. However, some bleed or reactivate may occur if excessive moisture is applied later.
Can I mix Dylusions Ink Sprays with water?
Yes, you can dilute the ink with water for lighter washes or watercolor effects. However, doing so directly in the bottle is not recommended; spray onto a palette or surface and then mix with water.
How do I prevent overspray onto surrounding areas?
Use stencils, masking techniques, or spray within a spray box. Hold the bottle closer to the surface you are coloring and use short, controlled bursts.
Is Dylusions Ink Spray safe for children?
The ink is non-toxic and acid-free, making it safer for general use. However, adult supervision is recommended, especially for young children, to ensure proper application and avoid inhalation.
What is the difference between Dylusions Ink Spray and other Ranger alcohol inks?
Dylusions Ink Sprays are water-based dyes, offering vibrant, transparent colors ideal for backgrounds and general coloring on porous surfaces. Ranger alcohol inks are alcohol-based, creating unique, often metallic or pearlescent effects, and work well on non-porous surfaces.
How long does a bottle of Dylusions Ink Spray typically last?
Longevity depends on usage frequency and application technique. With regular use for backgrounds or accents, a bottle can last several months to over a year.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer not working or clogged
Shake the bottle vigorously. Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water for a few minutes, then rinse and reattach. Ensure the tube is submerged in liquid.
Color is too light or uneven
Shake the bottle more thoroughly. Hold the bottle closer to the surface or apply multiple light coats. Ensure the surface is porous and receptive to the ink.
Ink runs or bleeds excessively
Ensure the surface is not oversaturated. Allow layers to dry completely before applying more. Use on thicker or more absorbent paper for better control.
Product stains surfaces or hands
Wear gloves and use protective coverings for your workspace. Clean spills immediately with water and soap. Note that the concentrated pigment can be difficult to remove from porous surfaces once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the spray nozzle is properly seated. Shake the bottle well before each use to mix the concentrated colorant. Test spray on scrap material before applying to your project.
Compatibility: Best suited for porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, watercolor paper, unprimed canvas, wood, and raw clay. It is generally not recommended for glossy or non-porous surfaces without a suitable primer. The Dylusions Ink Sprays are designed to be used with other Dylusions products and many other art mediums, but always test compatibility first.
Care: Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the nozzle clean by wiping it with a damp cloth after use, especially if any pigment dries around the opening. If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and soak it in warm water, then rinse thoroughly.
