FAQ's - Perfect Pearls™ and Medium
 
Is the Perfect Medium ink the same as embossing ink?

No. Embossing ink was developed as a slow drying ink for use with embossing powder. It can be removed from stamps using a water-based stamp cleaner. Perfect Medium was specially formulated as an embellishing ink for Perfect Pearls™. Although this is its primary function, it is extremely versatile. It is an excellent embossing ink for all types of powders including large particle Ultra Thick Embossing Powder™. It also works as a watermark on absorbent paper and as a resist on coated and gloss paper. To remove The Perfect Medium from stamps, use Cleans it™, non-toxic, all purpose stamp cleaner.
 
What is the difference between Perfect Pearls™ and other pigment powders?


No other pearl powder has a binder already mixed in. With Perfect Pearls there is no need to measure and mix. Just add water and Perfect Pearls will adhere to many surfaces. Add a little water to create a paint, more for a glaze and even more for a fabulous calligraphy ink. Dry Perfect Pearls adheres without the use of fixative when dusted over Perfect Medium. The resins in both Perfect Pearls and Perfect Medium work together to create an efficient bond. The binder in Perfect Pearls is so compatible it will not effect your results when mixing Perfect Pearls with other mediums i.e. clay, embossing powders, UTEE, acrylic paints, Posh dye Inkabilities™ and more!
