Pearlescent inks – individual pots and sets of inks

Using Transparent Extender Base with Pearlescent Inks:

Pearlescent inks are semi-opaque and can be used on dark and light fabrics. They can also be mixed with Transparent Extender Base to create a lighter, semi-sheer effect  The ratio of ink to extender base can be varied and you can build up layers of semi-sheer pearlescent ink to create glowing results.

The pearlescent inks can cause some stiffness in the fabric because they sit on the surface of the fabric. Adding extender base will reduce this effect. However, if the drape of the fabric is important, transparent inks may be better as they sink into the fibres and cause less stiffness.
