Features
Lightfast & Permanent
System3 Acrylic Inks are made with real pigments so colors are lightfast and permanent. They have a high degree of lightfastness (3*) except neon colors which are fugitive due to the nature of fluorescent pigments. The high pigment load provides strong and vibrant colors.
The high solid content* of System3 Acrylic Ink is what gives them their covering power and color strength.
*As the solids will separate over time, it is recommended to mix the inks with a palette knife before use and to shake the bottles to redisperse the solids evenly once they have been mixed.
*If the dropper is blocked, insert a pin or paperclip into the hole while gently squeezing the rubber bulb to help the solids out of dropper.

Opacity
All colors are opaque and though they can be thinned with water, they are water-resistant once dry. Check out the incredible opacity of these inks by using them on Strathmore Black Mixed Media paper with Princeton brushes.

Versatility
Suitable for varied applications: pour, drip, or apply with a paintbrush or paint markers such as Daler-Rowney FW Mixed Media Paint Markers. They are also suitable for calligraphy pens, dip pens, technical pens and airbrushes.
These acrylic inks are perfect for pouring art when paired with System3 Fluid Acrylic Pouring Medium or FW Ink Pouring Medium
Mixed Media Usage
These multi-surface, pigment-based opaque inks are also suitable for outdoor usage due to their lightfastness. Ideal for multi-technique applications ranging from creative projects to traditional fine art.
