Falling in Art Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink, 6-Color Printmaking Ink Set for Linoleum Block, 3.5 floz

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!

Good quality and easy to use

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 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

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.
