30ml Colour Lousy Ink
30ml Colour Lousy Ink
Lousy Ink is a water-based pigment ink made from 100% recycled printer cartridge waste. It is designed for everyday studio use and easy colour mixing. Our ink flows smoothly, holds pigment well, and allows for smooth gradients and controlled layering without overworking.
Suitable for brush work, stamping, airbrushing, pen dipping, marker refilling, fabric dyeing, marbling, and general experimentation. It can also be mixed directly into existing water-based or acrylic paints to extend colour ranges or adjust opacity and tone.
Pastel Colours are made by blending our recycled CMYK inks with titanium white recovered from large-format printer cartridge waste. These inks are formulated with 3% natural gum arabic binder to reduce pigment settling and improve consistency. The result is a smooth, high-opacity ink suited to slower, more controlled applications. Pastel colours contain 97% recycled content.
