Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink, 2.5-Ounce, Black

When I purchased, the junk half so much pressure in it I couldnt even squeeze it. I hadnt used it today as I was finishing the last of the gold tube I had. When I got it out today it had busted at the end and ink got all in the basket where I store them. Im not surprised!! The pressure there was incredible, and it finally gave. Not cool.

Love this product. I use it to brighten up my glass etchings.

I heat treated and let my ink cure for a whole week and within 2-3 washes the ink was faded

They ink was hard n not coming out I replace it n i get same product again.

Works great

The colour has an even and deep finish and keeps the hand of the fabric well. Colour finish is more grey than metallic so do not expect a high sheen or sparkling finish. Great coverage with a brayer and fantastic for gelli or monoplate printing.

Great product.

Dries a bit too quickly on the block, but the color is strong and bright.

Thankfully Im testing this on muslin before doing final printing. I let the sample sit a month before washing, and it faded badly. This could be in part due to sizing on the new fabric. I did another print test on the washed sample piece, I heat set it with a steam iron (print side down on parchment paper) and Im letting it cure for a week. If I still have problems with fading, Ill seek a different ink.

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.
