Liquitex Acrylic Ink 150ml Jar, Carbon Black

Liquitex Acrylic Ink is an ultra-fluid acrylic ink made with lightfast, artist-quality pigments—no dyes, no fading, just pure, permanent colour. This high-performance ink dries quickly and permanently, ensuring no smudging or bleeding when rewetted or layered.

Key Features:

• Ultra-fluid & Highly Pigmented: Provides pure liquid colour in a range of opacities.
• Dye-Free & Non-Fading: Offers true colour purity and archival stability.
• Satin Finish: Delivers a smooth, even finish.
• Permanent When Dry: Water-resistant and ideal for layering without risk of smudging.

Professional-Grade Pigments

Crafted with fine art materials, Liquitex Acrylic Ink uses high-quality artist pigments processed with advanced basket bead-mill technology. This method ensures exceptional colour dispersion, brightness, and stability, providing vibrant hues without quick-to-fade dyes.

Versatility

Acrylic Ink can be used in various applications, such as airbrushing, pouring, pen & ink, or as a sheer wash of colour. It works perfectly straight from the bottle and, with its ultra-fluid formula, is ideal for fine, flowing techniques. For added control, professional mediums can be used to adjust consistency.

Opacity Options

With 30 ink colours to choose from, each pigment has its own unique opacity—opaque, semi-opaque, or transparent. The opacity of each colour is clearly indicated on the label, making it easy to create a range of effects.

Smudge-Free & Layerable

Thanks to its acrylic base, this ink dries quickly and won’t move once dry. This makes it ideal for multi-layered techniques, allowing you to overpaint without bleeding. The result is smooth, velvety surface effects with no smudging.

Suitable Surfaces

Liquitex Acrylic Ink works on a variety of surfaces, including:

• Stretched canvas
• Paper & board
• Wood
• Plaster
• Fabric

Archival Quality

Your artwork deserves to last. Liquitex Acrylic Ink pigments have passed rigorous lightfastness tests, meeting the highest standards (ASTM I or II*). This guarantees that your work will remain vibrant and true for over 50 years in gallery conditions, with no colour shifting or fading.

A comparison test shows the durability of our pigment-based ink (top) versus traditional dye-based ink (bottom), both exposed to light for the equivalent of 50-100 years.

Note: Metallic pigments are naturally less lightfast.
