Liquitex Acrylic Ink
“Unlike regular inks, Liquitex Acrylic Ink uses finely milled pigments instead of dyes. And like all acrylics, it dries quickly and permanently, and doesn’t smudge or bleed when rewet or layered. You get intense, pure, lightfast color, in a range of opacities.
Our pigments are processed using the latest basket bead-mill technology, where tiny reinforced ceramic beads give fine dispersion, great color development, strength and brightness. No quick-to-fade dyes, just true color purity and archival stability in an ultra-fluid acrylic vehicle.”

Lightfastness
Lightfastness ratings are on the Liquitex website, just click on an individual color.
“As with all Liquitex products, the pigments in Acrylic Ink have passed extensive tests for lightfastness. Each pigment is rated according to the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM), and we only use pigments rated ASTM I or II*. This means your work will have the greatest archival permanence possible – at least 50 years+ in gallery conditions – with no color shifting or fading, to stay vibrant and true.”

I am considering acrylic inks to create a somewhat marbled finish on a guitar body (the wood is a rather pale shade of Ash). I would then add a polyurethane varnish on top. Do you know if the Liquitex acrylic inks would be compatible with such a varnish?
