Jacquard Pinata alcohol inks open up a huge number of possibilities for design. These alcohol inks contain high quality, lightfast dyes which produce vibrant transparent colours. Pinata inks dry quickly on any non-porous surface including ceramics, metal, glass, stone, polymer clay, silver clays, resin, fibreglass and plastic. They are also effective as a stain for wood, leather and other porous surfaces.
This indelible permanent ink has excellent surface adhesion and is impervious to water. Jaquard Pinata Colors can be used to paint designs on crockery, vases, and even windows. Drip colours onto the outside of an upturned cup and allow the alcohol inks to run into each other, ceramics decorated with Pinata Alcohol inks can withstand gentle hand washing, or try dropping small amounts into a mould containing unset resin to capture the bubbles of colour.

Thin Pinato inks with alcohol to lighten the colours or brush over the top of dry Pinata to dull back the glossy finish. Create pastel shades by combining the Pinata ink colours with Blanco Blanco (white) Pinata. Here are some useful instructions for the Pinata Inks
