Daler-Rowney System3 acrylic ink 29.5 ml

Fluid acrylic colour with a dropper

You receive one 29.5 ml glass bottle of System3 Acrylic Ink in the selected colour, with a dropper lid. This water-based pigment ink combines flowing marks with acrylic coverage. Use the dropper to transfer small amounts to a palette or place drops onto a prepared surface.

Choose one colour

The 28 colour choices include everyday painting colours, five fluorescents and imitation gold and silver. Select the colour above; this product is not a set of 28 bottles. The metallic names describe the colour effect. Keep the colour code with your swatch for repeat selection.

Try a small study first

Place an undiluted brush mark beside a water-thinned mark on the same paper. Let both dry and compare coverage, edges and colour before building your image. The dry ink is water-resistant, so plan layers differently from a watercolour that you rewet.

Use and storage

Use brushes, dip pens or compatible refillable mixed-media markers. Test flow with your own tool first. Paper, canvas and wood each call for suitable preparation and a trial. Adhesion alone does not establish washability of a finished object. Close the bottle after use and store upright. Work with ventilation, keep food and drink away from the work area and keep residues out of drains.

Preparation and colour retention

Before use, stir settled pigment with a spatula, then shake the closed bottle to redistribute the solids evenly. Prepare the surface and try the ink on a small area first. The five fluorescent colours have low lightfastness and can fade with light exposure; choose them deliberately for bright accents where long-term colour retention matters less.
