Default Dying Flowers with re-inkers

I know there must be a way to dye artificial flowers with re-inkers (su in my case) do I mix the ink with alcohol or water or what. Any advice would be appreciated!

I usually just add a little plain water to my dye-based re-inkers until I get the color I'm looking for. I've used this on paper flowers, though, not artificial ones.

I do it even simpler, I colour my flowers with the brayer. I hate wasting the reinkers and the brayer gives them a great solid colour, I usually have to reink the brayer a few times and then let it dry. If I'm in a hurry I dry it with a heat gun.
