Ranger - Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Mini Applicator
Apply alcohol inks with precision control on any non-porous surface
Alcohol inks bloom and spread unpredictably when applied directly from bottles, beautiful for organic effects, frustrating when you need control. This mini applicator solves that tension by holding just enough ink on its felt pad to create deliberate marks while maintaining the medium's characteristic fluidity. The compact 2.5-inch tool fits comfortably in your hand for detailed work on glossy cardstock, Yupo, glass, or metal surfaces where alcohol inks perform best.
Each felt pad absorbs ink evenly and releases it with consistent pressure, letting you build layers methodically or blend colors exactly where you intend. The replaceable felt system means you can dedicate individual pads to specific colors, avoiding unwanted mixing between applications. Swap felts mid-project to shift between pure pigment application and blending solution work without cleaning downtime.
The starter pack includes two tools and ten replacement felts, enough to establish your preferred working method and color rotation. When you've settled into a rhythm, additional 50-count felt packs keep you working without interruption. Particularly valuable for card makers and mixed media artists who need alcohol ink effects in specific zones rather than full-coverage washes.
