Subject: Acrylic ink
We, too, use soluvar varnish as a basecoat and topcoat for permanent labeling of artifacts. In the past we had been painting numbers with permanent drawing ink (the same kind used in rapidograph pens). We had a lot of trouble keeping the white ink fluid, so we've switched to using permanent acrylic artist's ink (FW brand Acrylic Artist's Ink made by Daler Rowney). Does anyone know of any problems associated with acrylic inks? Are these as safe to use as the drawing inks? Thanks for any help you can give.
