What it does
  • Improves color flow allowing you to print in more detail
  • Slows the drying process, giving you more time to print
  • Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints to make the optimum texture for printing
  • Extends color without affecting its acrylic stability
  • Maintains color opacity
  • Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
How to use it
  • Mix 1-2 parts of acrylic color with 1 part medium
  • For maximum opacity, use opaque colors or add white before adding medium (this may result in a lighter color)
  • In warm conditions, use 1 part color to 1 part medium
  • Clean your screen and equipment promptly after use
  • Fully compatible with all Liquitex products
How not to use it
  • Do not let your color dry on the screen
