Alcohol Ink SMARTMAX Marabu Alcohol Ink Gold 20 ml, single pack

Marabu Alcohol Ink SMARTMAX Gold 20 ml is a single-pack bottle of alcohol-based, permanent ink formulated for fluid art, mixed media, stamping and decorative accents. The fast-drying, highly pigmented metallic gold provides transparent radiance on non-porous surfaces such as synthetic paper, glass, ceramic and metal. The dye-based formulation (with metallic exception) is acid-free and suitable for mixing with other alcohol inks or with an extender to alter transparency and drying time.

Advantages

The product delivers a bright metallic gold tone with good flow and blending properties on non-absorbent backgrounds. Its alcohol base ensures quick drying and permanence, while the pigment/metallic formula produces reflective metallic effects. Compatible with other alcohol inks, the colour can be mixed, lightened or lifted when combined with Alcohol Ink Extender; the Diamond variant can be used to add additional sparkle.

Suitable for

• Fluid art and pouring techniques
• Mixed media projects and collage
• Stamping and decorative accents on non-porous surfaces
• Glass, ceramic and metal decoration

How to use

Apply the Alcohol Ink Gold directly from the 20 ml bottle onto the chosen non-absorbent surface. For fluid effects, drop or pour the ink and manipulate with air, tilting or blending tools. To create layered metallic highlights, allow base layers to dry briefly and then add selective touches of the gold ink. When mixing with other alcohol inks or an extender, test colour interaction on a scrap surface first to determine desired transparency and drying behaviour.

Usage recommendations

Use on clean, dry non-porous substrates for best adhesion and visual effect. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid open flames due to the alcohol content. Store upright and tightly closed at room temperature away from direct sunlight. When blending or lifting colours, use small amounts of Alcohol Ink Extender to control transparency and drying time; test combinations before applying to final work.
