description Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink Overview

Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink is a liquid acrylic paint medium formulated for fine art applications, calligraphy, and illustration. Manufactured by Liquitex, the ink utilizes super-fine pigments suspended in an acrylic emulsion, resulting in a highly pigmented, water-resistant, and lightfast finish. It is designed to flow smoothly through dip pens, paint brushes, and airbrushes without clogging. This medium is intended for artists and lettering enthusiasts who require permanent, archival-quality color in a fluid format.

help Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink FAQ

Is Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink the same as India ink?

No, unlike traditional India ink which uses shellac as a binder, Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink uses an acrylic emulsion. This means it dries to a highly pigmented, permanent, and water-resistant film without clogging pens the way shellac-based inks can.

Can you use Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink in an airbrush?

Yes, Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink is formulated with super-fine pigments, making it perfect for use in an airbrush right out of the bottle. The liquid medium is thin enough to flow through fine nozzles without requiring heavy dilution.

Is Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink lightfast?

Yes, the ink is manufactured with fine art applications in mind, utilizing highly durable, lightfast pigments. Once dry, the colors are designed to resist fading and remain vibrant for archival purposes.

Can you mix Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink with other acrylic paints?

Yes, because it utilizes the same acrylic emulsion binder as standard acrylic paints, you can safely mix Liquitex Inks with heavy body or fluid acrylics. This allows artists to easily thin out thicker paints without losing the integrity of the binder.
