PixissGreen Alcohol Ink Set - 5 Shades of Highly Saturated Alcohol Ink for Epoxy Resin Supplies, Yupo Paper, Tumblers, Coasters - Resin Colorant for Epoxy Resin and Resin Art Supplies

i have recently started using alcohol inks to dye tyvek sheets for origami and am looking for strong colors, the ability to mix, and how they look when illuminated from behind/within. so far the Pixiss inks have had the most intense color saturation and the best final results. in the photo with two green sheets of tyvek together, the Pixiss inks were used on the sheet on the right/top compared to a cheaper/lower quality ink on the bottom/left sheet.I find they mix well, dilute well, and look fantastic when lit up from behind/within.some of the ink does come off on my fingers when folding, i haven't found a way to prevent that on the tyvek but i'm not using it for anything that needs to tolerate a lot of handling past the initial manipulations of the tyvek sheets so i am ok with that aspect at this time.*note: the illuminated flowers are each lit from within with a single 12v white LED. they do not appear that bright in person, it's more of a soft violet glow through the tyvek/ink

I used this for painting glass. Three of the five colours have enough pigment to have a separate shade while the other two colours are indistinguishable from other 'shades'. The "Mint" was almost invisible. The "Stone" and and "Pine" were very similar. I'll use these but will stick to Ranger after this as I need more concentrated pigments for painting glass and staining gourds. The packaging is fine, the tops did not come apart,break or fall off while using them and they dispense a desirable amount of ink, a drop at a time. I will try them in both ultra-violet and regular resin to see if there is a noticeable difference in the five shades. Sometimes an ink performs better with one method over others.

I’ve used alcohol inks and alcohol activated inks as both an artist and as a special makeup effects artist for film and tv, and I’ve never experienced brush fibers staining the way mine did except when I’ve used standard FD&C Food Colors. As a test I even put some on my skin and the stain took a lot of work to remove. My cleaners/removers for the brush and skin was 99% IPA and pure Ethanol. Neither worked well. As makeup artists we have a trick to remove food color stains (think: fake blood) from skin and brushes: plain, cheap white shaving cream. So, guess what finally removed the staining caused by these? That makes me very suspicious of these. Pigments should be used for the colors - not food colors.

Caps are almost impossible to remove !!!
