Features
Pigment-Based Watercolor Inks
Daler-Rowney Aquafine Watercolor Inks are made with lightfast pigments, guaranteeing superior resistance to fading over time versus dye-based alternatives.
*As solids suspended in solutions, pigments may gradually settle over time but can be easily reincorporated by shaking the bottles before use.

High Lightfastness
All 20 colors in the Aquafine Ink range are permanent with a high degree of lightfastness (3*+). These 20 colors are fully compatible with the tube and half pan colors in the traditional Aquafine watercolor range
Look for the icon below in the Aquafine watercolor chart to indicate that color is available in an ink format.
Vibrant and Transparent Colors
Great mixing ability and colors will remain bright and vivid over time compared to dye-based inks.

Transparent colors can be further diluted with water to achieve more subtle tones.
Liquid Watercolor
Aquafine Ink is a water-soluble ink range that can also be used as a liquid watercolor. These watercolor inks have a higher pigment concentration so colors are more concentrated compared to traditional watercolors in tubes or half pans. They can be used straight out of the dropper or diluted with water.

These watercolor inks can be rewet after drying and lifted off paper, like traditional watercolors, making them unique versus other Daler-Rowney acrylic inks. Achieve the same watercolor techniques: wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, lifting & layering. Perfect to be used alongside traditional watercolors as well as mixed with watercolors to enhance color saturation.

Versatility
Ideal for use like a normal ink for calligraphy and to produce technical illustrations and finely worked drawings. Aquafine inks can be applied using traditional brushes but also work well with technical pens and paint markers like the FW Mixed Media Markers and for lettering, airbrushing, urban sketching, plein air and is also compatible for pouring with FW Ink Pouring Medium.

The expressive fluidity of watercolor inks is suitable for use by fine artists, illustrators, graphic designers, calligraphers, decorative artists and hobbyists.
