What are alcohol inks?
Alcohol inks are highly concentrated, fast-drying alcohol-based dyes designed for coloring transparent and cast materials such as epoxy resin. Thanks to their intense pigmentation and ability to dissolve in epoxy, they create fine transitions, depth and artistic effects.
Key benefits of alcohol inks
- Vivid, saturated colors – a few drops are enough for a striking effect
- Easy mixing and layering – ideal for resin art and jewelry
- Compatibility with epoxies – they do not affect curing when dosed correctly
- Cloud and petri effects – using white ink
- Easy cleaning and maintenance – thanks to the alcohol base
Where are they used?
Alcohol inks are popular in:
- Resin art – paintings, trays, decorative pieces
- Jewelry and pendant making
- Colored wood casting – for example live edge projects
- Effects in silicone molds
What to watch out for
- Too much ink can affect resin curing
- Some pigments are not UV stable – for outdoor use we recommend a clear coat or a UV-resistant TopCoat

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Alcohol inks are liquid, transparent and fast-drying – ideal for striking color blends and depth. Pigment pastes are thicker, opaque and suited to rich, solid coloring of the whole mass.
Yes, but we recommend them mainly for casting and decorative resin where their effect stands out. Some fast-curing systems may change color or react – always test a small amount first.
Usually 1–5 drops per 100 g of resin is enough. Use more for a stronger effect, but do not exceed the manufacturer's recommendation.
First drop in colored alcohol inks, then add a few drops of white ink. This creates the characteristic cloud effect known from petri dishes.
