Thread: Ink vs. Paint

I have found a local source for Creatix paint and I notice on their webpage they sell ink for ABing. Out of curiosity, when would ink be ised rather that paint?
I am thinking of starting with an opaque paint to practice with, is this a good choice?
Thanks

Hey now B. Ink is nice for absorbant surfaces, like bristol board, illustration board, paper and anything else that will let the paint "soak" in. Not so much on a hard surface. Opaques are nice but may need to be thinned a bit to spray properly. good luck man.
Hope this helps.

Thanks TABG. What paint can I get that I don't have to fool around with thinning etc. I can just put it in and go. I'd like to get to learn how to use the AB and than worry about thinning paint etc.

COM ART or GOLDEN paint ready to spray out the bottle.
CREATEX is the main paint I use and practice with. I would buy Createx also seems you will be using it soon that you think on tee's or fabric. Not the same as using the other 2different psi to work with, thicker tip drying problems . If you do buy the createx buy the transparent paints to practice with over the opaques, not as much problems with tip dying on the needle.

Good luck.
