Jackson’s Alcohol Inks are fast-drying, alcohol-based inks. They are highly saturated and produce vibrant effects on a variety of porous and non-porous surfaces. Popular surfaces include Yupo paper, Jackson's gesso panels, as well as glass, metal, plastic, ceramic, stone, resin, clay, and more.
You can also use Jackson’s Alcohol Inks for calligraphy work, faux finishing techniques, graphic and airbrush applications, as well as wood and leather staining.
Jackson’s Alcohol Inks are smudge-resistant and water-resistant when dry. As they are dye-based, artwork should be protected from sources of light to protect against fading. Once the color dries it can be reworked with Jackson’s Blending Solution. This helps produce unique effects that can't be achieved with water-based mediums.
To protect works made with alcohol inks, we recommend several coats of a UV protectant, such as Krylon Kamar Varnish. Allow at least 24 hours or more for best results.
When cleaning brushes used with Jackson’s Alcohol Inks, we recommend using isopropyl alcohol or a blending solution. Clean brushes before they have the chance to dry out.
Each opaque color has a metal ball in the bottle which mixes up the coloring agent when shaken.

New to alcohol inks... oh dear.
I invested in a dozen or so of these inks but didn't realise they need special paper. A year on, I bit the bullet and bought Yupo paper and more colours. I found the dried ink was chalky and smudged but Jackson's have addressed this (thank you!). However, I have tried all the inks on Yupo, photopaper and glossy tiles and the results are not good. The inks dry very grainy and don't have the same look as others. Other inks seem to dry in a clear and dreamy appearance. I was quite thorough and methodical with my testing and all the results were similar. I'm really sad they won't be giving me the creativity other mediums have.
