FAQs
Are these inks waterproof?
Yes, the inks are water-resistant and permanent once dry.
Can I mix these inks?
Yes, the inks can be mixed to create custom colors.
What is the best surface to use these inks on?
These inks work well on paper and canvas. However, they can also be used on wood and metal.
How do I clean my brushes after using the inks?
Clean brushes with water immediately after use. For tougher stains, use a brush cleaner.
Can I use these inks in an airbrush?
Yes, the inks are suitable for airbrushing. Thin them slightly with water or a flow improver if necessary.
Do I need to prime the surface before using these inks?
It is always recommended to prime the surface, especially when working on wood or metal, to ensure better adhesion and prevent the ink from being absorbed too quickly.
How long do these inks take to dry?
The inks dry relatively quickly. Drying time varies depending on the thickness of the application and environmental conditions, but generally, they dry within a few minutes to an hour.
Troubleshooting
Ink appears too watery or runs on the surface.
Use thicker paper or canvas. Apply multiple thin layers instead of a single thick one to control the flow. Consider using a surface primer.
Ink clogs the brush or pen.
Ensure the tools are clean and free from dried ink. Dilute the ink slightly with water or a flow improver if needed. Try using a different brush or pen.
Colors appear faded after drying.
Apply a second layer of ink once the first layer is dry. Ensure that the surface is properly primed.
