SURIMACCA Ink (Clear) is a transparent ink on its own, which you can mix with other SURIMACCA ink(s) to lower the opacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more clear ink you mix, the lower the opacity will be, which means the color will look lighter and paler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing with Clear Ink: Part One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, I’m going to make a checkered pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the artwork on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I printed the pattern by turning the screen 90 degrees to create a grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the finished looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uff08Left\uff09Printed with 100% Red Ink. The opaque color creates a grid, but not a checkered pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uff08Right\uff09Printed with 1 part of Red Ink and 9 parts of Clear Ink.
The ink now has a lower opacity and can creates an overlapping effect in areas where the print overlap. This look is more characteristic compared to the one with solid Red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing with Clear Ink: Part Two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next up, let’s play with this artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can’t see behind the glasses much when the lenses are printed with 100% Aqua Ink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s add clear ink to this in steps… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The lenses now have a higher transparency and the eyes are more visible!
Clear ink is very useful for expressions of something transparent or translucent, such as glasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More samples!
Sunglasses version (Brown 2 : Clear 8).
