Jacquard Pinata Alcohol Ink Set, 9 Vibrant Colours for Resin Art and Tumblers, Craft Ink for Non-Porous Surfaces Like Glass or Ceramic, 14ml Starter Pack

Really pleased with colours, how the work and dried bright and vivid.

My local supplier was selling these inks for £8.95 each. I got 9 for just over £21 and I didn't have to pay any import charges. I was a bit dubious that they would be fake or wouldn't be any good but I've used them 3-4 times and they seem to be the real macoy! The colours are gorgeous and I've used them to make resin coasters etc. They took a couple of weeks to arrive but really pleased with them.

Bought these because I’ve seen all the dice makers use them. I love the white but when it’s added to the odourless resin it’ll smell very strong. I’m not happy with the gold or black..they both say they’re ‘super opaque’ but that wasn’t the case for me. I used a lot of them and mixed forever and when they eventually looked opaque they didn’t pour that way.

Finally I can join the ranks of alcohol artists! (I tried to do it the cheap way by mixing up my own colours but it was not working.) Enclosed is a picture of an abstract piece done on Yupo paper. The most exciting thing about these inks is their gold. I used it to frame the picture and as random accents inside. The gold colour does not mix with the other colours but rather travels on their surface, dispersing into smaller clusters till just a shimmer is left, like gold nuggets in a tray of sand. Of course I have a long way to go to thoroughly understand how to best work with this medium but what I can tell you is to use just one (1) drop of ink and spray it with pure alcohol 99% and let it travel on the paper (with a bit of help from you). Then when it dries, use another drop of a complimentary or contrasting ink and repeat the process. In my painting I used violet, yellow, green, gold and a touch of white and did not wait for each colour to dry. Thus I used too much colour which I had to mop up with kitchen paper. So trust me when I say a drop goes a long way! As you can see, the violet turned into magenta and when it mixed with the other colours produced a warm pinkish brown. If you can afford these little bottles of ink, go ahead, spoil yourself! The inks do not have a smell but if you are spraying alcohol, be careful as little droplets of ink can land on your furniture and carpets so protect your working surface and try to spray from outside in. A pair of gloves will come in handy as well as a piece of kitchen towel to absorb any excess ink. So what can you do with these creations? Well you can cut the paper in smaller pieces and use it for card-making, or decorate it with collage, stamps and doodles, or just frame and enjoy. I am sure it would look good in die cut images, too, if you have a die cutter that will handle Yupo synthetic paper. BTW Yupo is really expensive, so better buy a larger size and cut it smaller at home. As for IPA (alcohol) I found a good offer here on Amazon.

If your resin petri isn't working its because you don't own these pigments. They're pricey, yes. Especially compared to the "50 inks for £5" around the Internet. However having now used several of those ink brands I can absolutely assure you that these are the ones you need. You'll save more money just getting them than wasting time and resin on failed attempts. Having checked online and local craft shops, these are also the cheapest you'll get them. Not many places do the set in the UK so it can run you a bit costly. This set also comes with a gold which is really beautiful. But yeah, if you're doing petri work it's these ones you need, and there aren't really any cheaper alternatives that work.

Some of the colours are nice and bright. But... if you are planning to use them in resin, be aware that pink and purple will turn ugly amber in resin. Also, the green ink mixed with resin will turn blue. You can always add yellow to make it green, but you shouldn't have to, really. The other colours are nice, black is very intense (I really like that one) and blanco blanco is very good too.

I highly recommend these inks! They are incredible in resin. I find the best way to get a good effect is to put a drop of colour, then white, then colour and keep building it up like that. The white ink makes the colours sink. Just be careful using these on smaller moulds as it's alcohol and spreads out, sometimes it spreads out of the mould itself 😅 I would definitely buy these again 🥰

Love the colours, you can do some lovely bright alcohol inking

Fantastic product ! Love them . They are extremely highly pigmented and are a tiny bit thicker consistency than the Ranger brand . No two brands are exactly the same - I have three different brands - but they all work extremely well together . If you are after a stronger , more vibrant colour , Pinata delivers .

やってみたかったアルコールインクアート！ たくさんつかいたいとおもいます。

Les couleurs sont belles et le rendu est parfait ! Je recommande.

I haven't used it yet but it is in excellent condition and just like the picture

Die besten Tinten die ich bis jetzt benutzt habe. So kräftig, muss man sparsam benutzen. Bin begeistert. Absolute Kaufempfehlung. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
