FAQs

Can Ranger Perfect Pearls be used with alcohol inks?

Yes, Ranger Perfect Pearls can be used with alcohol inks. You can add the pigment to the ink directly or apply it to a surface where alcohol ink has been applied and is still wet.

How do I get the most vibrant results?

For the most vibrant results, use the pigment with a white or light-colored base medium, or apply it to a wet adhesive surface. Thorough mixing also enhances its vibrancy.

Is this product archival safe?

Yes, the product is acid-free, making it suitable for archival and scrapbooking projects.

Can I bake this product?

If mixing with mediums that are designed to be baked, such as certain polymer clays or embossing powders, the pigment will withstand the baking process. However, the pigment itself is not baked.

How much pigment should I use?

The amount of pigment to use depends on the desired intensity and the medium. Start with a small amount and add more until you achieve the desired level of shimmer and color saturation.

Does it create texture?

The pigment itself is fine and does not inherently create texture. However, when mixed with thicker mediums like embossing enamels or pastes, it can contribute to the overall texture of the final application.

Troubleshooting

Pigment appears dull or lacks shimmer.

Ensure you are using sufficient pigment for your medium. For dry applications, try dusting more pigment onto a wet surface. For wet applications, mix thoroughly with the medium.

Pigment is clumping when mixed wet.

Ensure your medium is suitable for pigment mixing and is not too thick or dry. Try adding a small amount of water or a compatible liquid medium to loosen it.

Dust is difficult to control during dry application.

Use a brush or soft cloth to gently apply or dust the pigment. Work in a well-ventilated area or use a protective screen. A light mist of water or adhesive spray can help the pigment adhere better.
