Falling in Art 6 Color Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink Set, 3.5 FL OZ

I had a hard time finding block printing ink that wasn't super expensive and water soluble. This set is great quality and good value. I was worried about cleaning but it comes off the brayers and tables easily with water. The ink itself is also the right consistency and it doesn't bleed into other areas of the print.

Horrible quality. The ink consistency is way too thick and dries too fast. Ripped my paper. Do not recommend

Purchased this for a printmaking class. When I first opened it I was worried because the ink looked thicker than I was used to. I asked the instructor and she said it should work fine. She was right. We did linocut, acrylic etchings, gelatin prints and a few other things. All were successful. In fact several other students from the class asked to borrow my ink because they noticed better results with it. My instructor even made a note to recommend this ink to future students because of it's good value and good results. I noticed several other reviews commented that it was difficult to dry. I can understand that criticism because it is thicker than other ink I have used before. It would take longer to dry. But the results are beautiful. If you don't need it to dry quickly this is not a problem. Would highly recommend! Already bought another batch.

I made block prints with this ink, and even though I use the thinnest layer possible, the ink on the final print doesn’t dry, it remains sticky and even after days of hanging the smallest bit of moisture makes the ink viable again. No instructions included on if curing is needed or heat treatment. This is good for crafts and kids but not professional artists who are trying to sell quality handmade prints

Muy buenas, un poco secas pero como son solubles lo podré solucionar con agua

I am loving this ink. So smooth and ink nicely on my roller. I like the thickness of the ink. Ink functions perfect being rolled on. I am happy with this purchase

Good quality and easy to use

Some containers were missing a seal and all were very thick. I did linocut printing on paper and when I peeled the paper off the linocut, it would rip because the ink was like glue. I've done linocut printmaking for over 10 years and never had ink that was this thick. This might be meant for screen printing and mislabeled.

I saw a review about how long it takes to dry, but honestly it does dry over night! Just take spoonful of the ink (can be less or more up to you) then use the roller to flatten the ink into a thick layer, add a spoonful of water to it, mix the ink with the water using a small spatula or something like the tool you use to ice a cake, then from there just by looking at it you can tell if you need more ink or a touch more water. As the product says it’s a water solvent so adding a touch of water can take out the thickness making it dry faster and apply better without losing the ink’s quality! Just don’t make it too watery like pen ink because then it may seep into the parts of your carving you don’t want to appear. I used a baking pan for the flat surface, a small container of water to easily get spoonfuls of water, a spoon, the icing tool, roller and other tools meant for this kind of art. Hope this helps!

Contrary to what many people say, I really wasn’t satisfied with this product. It was very dry and even clumped on the brayer roller ,...

The coverage of the paint is very good; however, the paint takes weeks to dry and even then it has a stickiness to it. Unfortunate as the colours blend well together. Had to return as all the pages stick together after printing and storing.

I seen a few review mentioning that the ink doesn't dry. Overall it is good ink, I found it’s best for porous materials meant to absorb it, such as canvas, or absorbent paper. The initial paper I used did not dry even after a week or so, however the canvas tote bags and sketch paper dried over night.
