Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink, 1-Oz (30ml), Iridescent Set, Set Of 3

Acrylic Inks has easily become a new favorite medium of mine. The ink is fantastic, it is waterproof, opaque and can be layered easily. It works well with other mediums like watercolor and colored pencils. It can be used with nibs and brushes. The ink is vibrant and flow like there is no tomorrow with water. It dries flat with a subtle sheen.

The collors are great, but it is lumpy and the bottel doesn't have the small metal balls, so even shaking it won't smooth the liquid paint.

Good qualitySpectacular ink colorsPerfect as describedRecommended

Not really iridescent, but more like metallic paints like you'd use on models. Still a great effect with a rich underlying colour.Goes well through an airbrush but you should clean thoroughly after as the flakes seem to cause a little clogging.Tested on Bristol board.The black and white inks are good too and go nicely through my iwata eclipse at low psi.Update:After a few months of use and testing on models I remain impressed. However there are a few things people should note when using these through an airbrush:1. Shake THOROUGHLY. This is always a given but especially important here.2. Consider mixing in some flow improver and a little thinner. Adding some flow improver will make the ink a bit thicker and thus stop the mica flakes from sinking as quickly. This can help keep your shiny spots more even. It also lets you run the brush at a higher pressure without spidering- which seems to help prevent clogging, as well as providing more even spray. I used a ratio of about 4 ink to 2 flow improver and then adding a little thinner more to break surface tension than reduce viscosity. I did this outside my airbrush to get a thorough mix. Needle size .35mm. PSI around 25-30.3. Works fine on models. I've used it with no issues (other than getting used to how the ink behaves) to layer over either primer or previous paint layers.4. the black and white are EXTREMELY powerful. If you're trying to darken an area rather than black it out, use paint.5. The white is titanium. See point 1. The pigment falls out of the medium quickly so every time you use the white you need to make sure it's properly mixed first. Shake until it's even- then shake it a little more.

Would love to say they are great inks, however they arrived smashed. Lovely red ink soaking the contents along with my worktop. Packaging needs to be revamped based on others with identical issues. Inner box looks like it had a tumbledown Mt. Everest.

Sadly I bought this based on other reviews which said it was good for acrylic paint pouring art, but it's just too thin, especially when you add a medium (I use Liquitex). I'm going back to my acrylic paints & pigments as I got a big fat ZERO cells with this (I don't use silicone, you shouldn't need to with a good medium!). Most disappointing and I won't be buying any more inks for my art. Don't get me wrong, the colours are nice and bright (too bright for me actually as I like muted colours) and they didn't lose their vibrancy when mixed with a medium, but they are just soooo thin, they just slip all over the canvas and no cells emerged at all, even with my heat gun. I'm sure they are superb for other art uses, but no good for acrylic paint pouring artists like me.

Arrived in a bigger mess than any of the other customers photos! Whole box was saturated and fell apart when plastic removed. Labels on inks that survived were unreadable.Not sure how to complain as the contents are NOT RETURNABLE(at the risk damaging other items in the postal system)Have just contacted Amazon (via chat) and refund issued without fuss - so it is 5 stars for complaints dept. and 0 stars for the postal service & packaging

I don’t know if it’s just me but these don’t act like ink they act like a watered down acrylic paint. When you put ink in a acrylic pour or try and use it for ink art it spread out like a bloom. This acrylic ink does nothing it just sits like a blob. I wish I never bought this at all. I colours are not that nice.
