Tim Holtz formulated this solution specifically for his concentrated alcohol inks, which carry heavy pigment loads that can overwhelm without proper control. The blending solution lightens intense colors to workable transparency, letting you build subtle gradations instead of working only at full saturation. It also reactivates dried ink on non-porous surfaces, giving you extended working time to blend, lift, or adjust compositions that would otherwise set permanently.

The precision applicator tip delivers controlled amounts exactly where you need them, critical when working with fast-evaporating alcohol inks on slick surfaces like Yupo paper or glossy tile. Beyond blending, it cleans ink from tools and hands more effectively than water or standard solvents, dissolving the alcohol-based pigments completely. Keep both sizes on hand: the 2 fl. oz. bottle for studio work and refills, the 0.5 fl. oz. for portable kits and detailed blending.

Acid-free formulation protects finished pieces from degradation over time. Works with all Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks and compatible brands using alcohol-based systems.
