InkAID Iridescent Pearl inkjet receptive coating can be applied to various substrates, allowing you to print on virtually any material that can go through your inkjet printer.

They provide a glowing, reflective, iridescent surface that enhances the colour of the ink, which changes slightly as you adjust your viewing angle.
The prints are clear and crisp, with vibrant colours and deep blacks. Coating onto aluminium or dark paper can produce an especially desirable visual effect.

Generally, all inkAID Iridescent Coatings have good adhesion to smooth, non-porous surfaces like metals and can be applied to paper, wood, fabric, and canvas. They are not water resistant but provide a beautiful background to print onto.


Working with inkAID Iridescent Coatings
Stir inkAID Iridescents gently but thoroughly from the bottom before using.
Either foam or bristle brushes can be used to apply the coatings. Brush the Inkjet coating onto the surface in even strokes, covering the entire substrate. The sheet is ready for printing when the layer has dried to the touch.
Start with small test pieces to adjust your colour settings and printing profiles. Use ''semi-gloss or enhanced matte'' paper settings as a starting point.
Allow the paint to dry for a day before applying any top coating.

There is a range of inkAID Iridescent Inkjet Receptive coatings; you can find them all in a Sample Set and choose the one required for your specific application. You can even mix the different colour coatings to create your unique blends! In the Sample Set, you get 4-ounce bottles, which provide enough layers to coat two or three 8 x 10-inch sheets.

Scarlett P. ★★★★★

The coating laid down smooth and even on a piece of acrylic I’d been wanting to print on, and the glow it gave the final image was surprisingly subtle yet elegant. Perfect for turning plain surfaces into something special for my art projects.

Timothy ★★★★★

Finally got that pearlescent sheen I was after for my art prints -- this coating gives the paper a subtle glow that shifts as you tilt it. Feels like the 473ml bottle will last through dozens of projects.

Michael ★★★★★

Printed some test photos on canvas board with this coating and the iridescent shimmer is really subtle but beautiful—it gives the images a soft pearl glow without looking gaudy. The 473ml bottle has coated dozens of A4 sheets so far with plenty left, which is great value. Perfect for adding that ext
