Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink, 2.5-Ounce, Black

Used this for printing of some plain shirts and worked a treat! Speedball never disappoint.

I tried regular screen printing ink before buying the block print ink for fabric and it made a HUGE difference. Fantastically opaque on dark fabric.

I. Love. This. Stuff. Paper and fabric is what I use it for. I love that I dont need to heat treat fabrics, just let it sit for about a week and its good to go. AWESOME

I havent used the printing paint yet though I trust speedball to be a great product every time. The seller was quick to help me with my questions though and figure out where my order got to. Cant wait to try it!

I used this ink in conjunction with the Speedball Premium Mounted Linoleum Block (4313). The ink was a bit thinner than I had expected, but I suspect thats more a matter of my inexperience, rather than a product defect. I was very satisfied with the prints I achieved. Even printing on fabric and with shallow features on the block, this ink maintained a very good level of detail. Moreover, I was able to pull over 25 prints from a 6x7 image, and still have at least 3/4 of the bottle left. One caveat (and the reason this is four stars, not five): there is a very strong odor when using this product. Im not sure if thats the case with all block printing inks, but the chemical smell was very strong. However, I did not get lightheaded (even though my workspace was poorly ventilated) and my roommate (who has strong chemical sensitivities) didnt experience any difficulties. The odor faded quickly, though it was still detectable 48 hours later (but not overpowering). Overall, I would recommend this product. Unless I come across a comparable option advertised as low odor, I will buy this same product again in the future.

Great product.

Four stars for overall print quality. I knocked a star off because it stinks to high heaven and dries fast on the plate. Run 5 or so test prints on newsprint to build up a good layer of ink on your block before printing onto fabric. I printed on 100% cotton shirts and used a woodzilla-type press.

Alright

Lovely product.

Goes a surprisingly long way, used only about half a tube to block print a fairly large design on 6 shirts. Clean up is way easier than other inks. Highly recommend, can only wish that they came in bigger containers.
