• Opaque (Special) Inks – These inks have an acrylic resin binder, making them perfect for permanent, opaque applications with either a dip pen or a brush. Can be thinned with acrylic airbrush medium for use in airbrushing applications.

• Transparent (Regular) Inks – Vibrant pigments in a shellac-based binder make these a more traditional style of ink. Excellent for layering and transparent washes with a brush, or luminous linework and calligraphy.
