More about Oxide inks

Their unique formulation fusing dye and pigment allows for spectacular oxidized effects when they react with water.

In addition, thanks to the pigment, they are opaque, so they show up perfectly on dark surfaces.

Distress Oxide Ink pads have a size of 2"x2", with a felt pad. Due to their special composition, it is not possible to make them in a mini 1"x1" size like Distress Ink.

Ranger Distress Oxide Ink can be used for stamping, creating backgrounds, or even as watercolors by adding water. Once dry, as the pigment remains on the surface of the paper, they will react again if sprayed with water.

One of the advantages of these inks is that they blend very well, so if we use basic tools like rounded ink applicators or brushes to create gradients, we can create beautiful backgrounds, even with stencils or templates.

Distress Oxide ink also serves as an aging ink, creating aged effects and giving a vintage style to our projects. And, as slow-drying inks, they are also suitable for doing embossing.

In this video you can see them in detail and learn the basic techniques for using them.
