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-proof and water-resistant when dry. As they are dye-based, works should be protected from sources of light to protect against fading. Once the colour dries it can be re-worked 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 blending solution. Clean brushes before they have the chance to dry out.

Each opaque colour has a metal ball in the bottle which mixes up the colouring agent when shaken.
