FAQs
What surfaces can I use Dylusions Ink Spray on?
Dylusions Ink Spray is designed for porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, watercolor paper, canvas, Sticky Back Canvas, and wood. It can also be used on other absorbent materials.
Is this ink spray permanent once dry?
Yes, Dylusions Ink Spray is permanent once dry. It is recommended to test your application method on a scrap piece of material first.
How do I clean up overspray or mistakes?
While the ink is wet, it can be cleaned up with water. Once dry, it becomes permanent and may require more effort or specific solvents to remove, depending on the surface.
Can I layer different colors of Dylusions Ink Spray?
Yes, you can layer different colors. Ensure each layer is dry before applying the next for best results and to prevent colors from muddying.
Does the fine mist spray clog easily?
The fine mist spray can clog if not properly maintained or if the ink settles. Shaking the bottle before use and cleaning the nozzle after use can help prevent clogging.
What is the shelf life of Dylusions Ink Spray?
When stored properly away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, Dylusions Ink Spray typically has a long shelf life. Ensure the cap is always securely replaced after use.
Is this product suitable for children?
The ink is non-toxic, but it is recommended for use by adults or under adult supervision due to the spray mechanism and permanent nature of the ink. Always follow safety guidelines and use in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer nozzle is clogged or not misting.
Remove the nozzle and rinse gently under warm water. Ensure all ink residue is removed. If persistent, soak the nozzle tip in water for a few minutes. Dry thoroughly before reattaching. Shake the bottle well before spraying.
Color appears faded or less vibrant than expected.
Ensure the bottle has been shaken thoroughly before use, as the pigment can settle. Apply additional layers of ink spray to build up color intensity. Verify that the surface being used is sufficiently porous to absorb the ink.
Ink spray beads up or doesn't adhere well.
The surface may not be porous enough. Try using a different material or preparing the surface with a gesso or primer. Ensure the surface is clean and free of oils or residues.
Uneven spray pattern or splattering.
Shake the bottle vigorously again. Ensure the nozzle is held at an appropriate distance from the surface for a fine mist. Check for any obstructions in the nozzle by cleaning it as described above.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, remove the cap and shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the concentrated colorant is fully mixed. Prime the sprayer by pressing the nozzle down a few times until a fine mist is achieved.
Compatibility: This ink spray is ideal for use on porous surfaces such as cardstock, watercolor paper, canvas, wood, fabric, and journal pages. It is compatible with other Dylusions products and most water-based art mediums. Test on a small, inconspicuous area of non-porous materials before full application.
Care: Store the ink spray upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap securely on when not in use to prevent drying. Clean the nozzle with a damp cloth or gently rinse under water if it becomes clogged, ensuring it is completely dry before reattaching. Avoid contact with skin and eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs. Clean up spills immediately with water while wet.
