AK Interactive Inks

AK Interactive Inks are highly fluid and strongly pigmented hobby colours designed to apply transparent or semi-transparent colour over painted surfaces.

They can be used for glazing, shading, tinting, colour transitions, and other miniature and scale modelling techniques.

Inks can deepen shadows, increase colour saturation, tint surfaces, create glazes, reinforce recesses, and modify the overall tone of an existing paint layer.

They can be useful for both subtle colour adjustments and intense special effects.

Traditional acrylic miniature paints generally provide more opaque coverage, while inks are typically more fluid and transparent.

This transparency allows the underlying paint, shading, and highlights to remain visible while the ink changes the colour or intensity of the surface.

Washes are generally formulated to flow into recessed details for quick shading, while inks are highly saturated transparent colours that can be used for a wider range of techniques.

Inks can also be diluted or combined with appropriate mediums to create more controlled wash-like effects.

Yes. Their transparency makes inks useful for glazing and gradually shifting the colour of a painted surface.

Thin, controlled applications can build richer colours while preserving much of the underlying shading and highlighting.

Inks can be effective through an airbrush because their fluid consistency allows smooth filters, colour transitions, and tinting effects.

Always check the specific product instructions and adjust your airbrush setup where required.

Yes. Transparent inks can tint metallic paint while allowing the reflective finish underneath to remain visible.

This technique can be useful for coloured armour, magical metals, heat effects, energy weapons, anodized finishes, and other specialized metallic effects.

Yes. Inks can be used on fantasy, science-fiction, historical, and display miniatures for shading, glazing, tinting, and special effects.
