Speedball Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink Set – 4 Bold Colors With Satiny Finish - 1.25 FL OZ Tubes

You cannot go wrong with speedball ink. It’s thick, easy to roll on printing blocks. It’s dries to the touch within 30 minutes. Easy use for beginners.

Basic set of water-based block printing inks. The red and blue are very saturated primary colors, but there is a lot of white in the yellow so its more of a butter color rather than a primary yellow. Either way, works well for my purposes. Smaller tubes, so they don't last super long, but great to play around with. Speedball is my go-to brand, especially for water-based inks (there is more clean-up required with oil-based inks). I also have a roller from Speedball that has lasted me more than 2 years. Good stuff!

Paint works exceptionally well on many different surfaces.

Maybe its because I'm not experienced with screen printing, but it took more ink than I expected for my project (I put it on some paper). so squeeze a "generous" amount. easy to wash off too. one gripe i did have (could just be my inexperience of course) is when i mixed red and then blue, then a little more blue, it just kinda turned to black. i did use it on colored construction paper though, so maybe it effected how the colors looked later. great basic ink for screen printing.

Easy to use. Good coverage. Bright , intense colors.

I am a beginner in lino cut stamps. I used the yellow and the red ink. The yellow has a little black sharpie showing through. My bad. But I like the consistency of the ink.

Inks were easy to use as well as just the right amount I needed for my classroom printing activities!

Somethings going on at the factory…the crimped edges of the tubes aren’t fully sealed. I’m in a print making class, and a tube exploded on a fellow student last week, and today it happened to me. She bought hers at a local art supply company, so it’s not some problem with Amazon’s stock.

This ink is being sold by Amazon as a block printing ink for fabric and they claim "Ink Colours print on a range of fabric with bold, opaque, colour, which is dry to the touch overnight, and remains permanent through the wash., no heat set is required." This is WRONG. I used it on fabric and it washed away. What a waste of hours of my time. I expect it is lovely for other applications such as paper printing so 2 stars but definitely NOT a fabric ink as described. See before and after wash images below - I tried red, yellow and blue. Only the red has partial colour fastness, blue and yellow just vanish in the wash.

Habe die Farben gekauft, um T-Shirts zu bedrucken und als Linoldruckfarben auf Papier sind sie auch super, schön cremig, dick, fast einen Ticken zu trocken, aber das geht noch. Ich würde den Farben selbst, als Linoldruckfarbe für Papierdruck, eigentlich 4-5 Sterne geben, aber da ich sie, wie gesagt für Textildruck gekauft hatte, muss ich wegen der Mißverständlichkeit des Angebots zwei Sterne abziehen. In der Überschrift steht zwar "nur" "Speedball Block Printing Basic Blockdruck", aber in der Artikelbeschreibung liest man: "Tintenfarben drucken auf einer Reihe von Stoffen mit kräftigen, deckenden Farben, die sich über Nacht trocken anfühlen und während der Wäsche dauerhaft bleiben. Es ist kein Hitzesatz erforderlich." und "Verwenden Sie Druck auf einer Vielzahl von Stoffen, einschließlich Kleidung, Tragetaschen, T-Shirts." Nach der Wäsche sind die Farben allerdings verschwunden. Zum Glück fast komplett, so dass ich immerhin, mit den neuen Farben einer anderen Marke die ich mir bestellt habe, einen zweiten Versuch starten kann. Trotzdem schade. Da ich auch auf Papier drucke, werde ich diese Farben dann natürlich hierfür verwenden und ich bin mir sicher, da werde ich gute Ergebnisse mit den Farben erzielen.

Worked well.

Small but mighty! Colours are great and you don’t need much for a great print!

Works great and washes off easily
