Troubleshooting
Ink not transferring to surface
Ensure the felt is adequately saturated with alcohol ink or blending solution. Check that the felt is securely attached to the applicator tool.
Uneven ink application
A worn or damaged felt tip may cause unevenness. Replace with a new felt. Ensure consistent pressure when applying ink.
Difficulty removing used felt
Gently twist and pull the felt away from the applicator tool. If it's stuck, try using a dry cloth for better grip.
Color contamination
Always use a new, clean felt for each distinct color or when switching between inks and blending solution to avoid color mixing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, simply attach a new round felt to the Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Mini Applicator Tool. Ensure the felt is securely in place before applying ink.
Compatibility: These felts are designed exclusively for the Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Mini Applicator Tool. They are intended for use with Ranger Alcohol Inks, Alcohol Mixatives, and Alcohol Blending Solution. They work best on non-porous surfaces such as YUPO paper, ceramic tiles, or acetate.
Care: The felt tips are consumable. Once an ink color is deeply saturated or the felt becomes worn, it is best to replace it with a fresh one. Clean the applicator tool itself according to its specific instructions. Do not attempt to wash or reuse saturated felt tips for different colors, as this can lead to muddy results. Dispose of used felt tips responsibly.
