Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink, 2.5 oz, Black, Non-Toxic Water-Miscible, No Heat Setting Required, Made in USA

I’ve been very impressed with this block printing fabric ink. Easy to apply, and transfers beautifully onto fabric. The colors come out rich and vibrant, holding up well after washing without significant fading. It dries at a reasonable pace, which makes it easy to work with for both beginners and experienced printers.

This is my favorite block printing paint. It doesnt need to be heat treated and it is super durable! This size works well for a several yard project.

This ink is great and incredibly opaque. Since it’s pretty much the only opaque white option for linocut on fabric I’m not gonna give it too much of a hard time but I do wish it stayed wetter longer. It dries quite quickly and becomes difficult to use. I have had to get a toothbrush to clean it out of my Lino blocks because it gets caught in the tiny crevices and won’t come off without a good brushing. I might be too used to using water based inks so take that into consideration when reading my review. It works best with 100% cotton or linen with no stretch element but gets the job done on stretch fabric with only a little greying. I almost exclusively print on black with white ink so I use this product constantly and my biggest complaint is the smell. If you’re used to oil painting it smells similar to oil paint which isn’t terrible but definitely leave your windows open when printing.

One of my favorite inks - even for paper- since it drys to touch fast- no waiting a week for drying. Yet, does clog delicate lines when printing repeats, due to the fast drying quality. Cleaning block required, before continuing.

Exactly what I needed to make patches. It holds up through the wash great. And it doesn’t bleed when I used hot beeswax to waterproof

Smaller than I expected, but works. I’m a beginner so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I’d buy this brand again. It’s a solid color and a little went a long way for me. It’s easy to use if you’re just putting a glob of it on a surface and rolling one of those plastic paint rollers over it!

I used this for a small print run of 3 each of for blocks, hand pulled. It worked well went on with a rubber brayer and cleaned up easily with soap and water. I did not have any issues with it drying out as I changed blocks and rest between prints. I read that people had problems with it drying out so I put it on my plate in small amounts at first but did not have any problems.

I bought this ink as it seems to be just about the only no-heat set required product available for block printing on fabric. It rolled and printed well and looks great after washing my shirt (after waiting the 7 days indicated in the instructions).
