Alcohol Ink Set - New Improved Formula - 24 Highly Saturated, Fast-Drying, Permanent Inks for Epoxy Resin, Tumblers, Fluid Art Painting, Glass, Metal, and More ALC-1123
Overview
The Piccassio Alcohol Ink Set ALC-1123 is a 24-color kit designed for artists and crafters who work on nonporous surfaces like epoxy-coated tumblers, glass, metal, and synthetic papers used in fluid art. The new improved formula focuses on higher pigment concentration for richer, more vivid color, plus fast drying and good permanence once sealed under resin or varnish. The set is useful for hobbyists updating drinkware, resin artists layering pigments, and mixed-media creators who need inks that blend, bloom, and create dynamic cells and veining. It balances beginner-friendly handling with the intensity many pros expect, while still requiring proper ventilation and UV protection for outdoor or long-term applications.
Key Features
- 24 distinct colors: a broad range of primaries, secondaries and accent shades to mix and layer for custom hues.
- Alcohol-based, fast-drying formula that allows quick layering and reactive techniques common in fluid art.
- Designed for nonporous surfaces: compatible with epoxy resin, tumblers, glass, metal and synthetic papers such as Yupo.
- Precision applicator tips for controlled drops and line work, enabling both detail and large-area coverage (tip style may vary by production batch).
- Permanent when sealed: inks set on nonporous surfaces and become durable once protected under a clear coat or cured resin.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Rich, highly saturated pigments deliver vivid color and strong coverage on nonporous surfaces.
- Fast-drying alcohol base speeds up layering and reduces wait time between passes.
- Versatile compatibility — performs well with epoxy resin, tumblers, glass, metal, Yupo and other nonporous substrates.
- Good blendability and reactive behavior (blooming, cells) for fluid art and mixed-media effects.
- Permanent once properly sealed (for example under cured epoxy), making finished pieces durable.
Cons
- Alcohol inks are not inherently UV-stable — colors can fade over time unless protected with UV-resistant topcoat or resin.
- Not suitable for untreated porous fabrics or paper unless a proper sealer or substrate is used.
- Strong solvent fumes; requires use in a well-ventilated area and is not ideal for small enclosed workspaces.
- May react with some plastics or finishes—test a small area before committing to a full piece.
Recommendations
- Epoxy resin artists who need intense pigments that suspend and retain color under cured resin.
- Crafters customizing tumblers and drinkware—use sparingly and finish with a food-safe topcoat where needed.
- Fluid and abstract painters using Yupo or coated papers to exploit blooming, blending and cell effects.
- Mixed-media artists and hobbyists who want an all-in-one palette to experiment with marbling, alcohol lifts and metallic accents.
