EFX™ is a water re-soluble product that is very similar to gouache or premium tube-like water colors where eras-ability, strong light-fastness and solvent resistance is a must. It provides a wide range of advantages to artists seeking a re-soluble solution for special effects, erase-back and re-wetting properties such as that used in photo-realistic rendering. This product is ink like (pigmented ink) in its actions and has been compared to feeling like a solvent urethane, yet it's derived from completely water-based nanotechnology at its best.

Private Stock™ is used on all substrates, ranging from illustration boards to textiles, wood, leather, glass, metals and plastics that include HDPE, PVC, PET, LEXAN and Polycarbonate. Illustrators, Fine artists, T-shirt artists and Custom Painters can use this single system to suit all their needs.
