What is Acrylic ink?

Acrylic ink is a popular medium for painting miniatures and scale models. It is a type of paint that is made from acrylic resin, which gives it a water-resistant, quick-drying, and durable quality. They are known in general for their intense pigmentation, which makes them a great option for creating bold and vibrant colors. 

One of the biggest advantages of using them for wargame miniature and scale model painting is their versatility. Acrylic ink can be used for a wide range of techniques, including washes, glazes, filters, and dipping. It is also suitable for use with a variety of tools, including brushes, airbrushes, and pens. This makes it a great option for painters who want to experiment with different techniques and tools to achieve a range of effects.

Another benefit is its durability. Once it has dried, it will be water-resistant and won't easily smudge or rub off. This makes it a great choice for miniature and scale model painting, where the finished product may be handled frequently. Their durability also means that finished models can be displayed without the risk of the paint fading or flaking off over time.

They also have excellent flow properties, which means it can easily flow into the crevices and recesses of a miniature or scale model. This makes it ideal for creating shadows, highlights, and other subtle details that can be difficult to achieve with other types of paint. The general intense pigmentation means that it can be used to create smooth gradients and blends, which can help to create a more realistic and lifelike effect.

One of the best things about them is that it is available in a wide range of colors. This means that painters can choose from a range of hues to create the exact effect they want, whether that be a realistic representation of a particular subject or a more stylized, fantastical look. Acrylic ink can also be mixed with other colors or mediums to create custom shades and effects, which gives painters even more creative control.
