Speedball Water-Soluble Metallic Block Printing Ink Set, 4 Iridescent Colors with Satiny Finish, 1.25-Ounce Tubes

Perfect, just what my daughter wanted!

Freaking awesome inks. I mix them with the primaries to produce shimmery blues, reds and blacks. Really cool and fun to play with! The photo has three examples of some stamp prints I put on cards using the metallics.

My main complaint is that it separates and needs to be applied to something and stirred before I can use it on my printing plate. If I forget and apply it directly to the plate, the next couple prints are ruined by the large amount of watery liquid that comes out. Even squeezing the tube to try to mix it before using doesnt help. I do love the colors and sparkles, but not enough to make me want to buy this product again.

Love it!

Though I love these colors and I love speedball products one of these colors literally popped open at the bottom and the ink went all over the place. I can’t even find the page to show when and where I bought this product so I couldn’t even return it. Now that I am doing a review on another product that shows up so I might as well tell it.

I am extremely happy with this kit. It is going to allow me to experiment with new inks without investing a huge amount. The colours you get with the kit mean you can mix your own colours which, of course, extends the options you have. Will most likely buy the kit again because I wont be using the inks as my daily go-to medium, and it will give me options without a huge investment in ink which may go to waste if I have to buy full-sized tubes.

Used it for fish painting (forget the Japanese name), worked very well! Kids loved the metallic sparkles. But they are hard to wash off the rubber fish molds and brushes. So be careful!

Fine

I’m happy!

My husband makes our Christmas card and this year decided on a block print. He realized 2 weeks before Christmas that he didnt have the ink that he thought was in his studio. We ordered these since the closest retail art store with this offering is 200 miles away. He was pleasantly surprised at the quality,especially since he prefers oil to acrylic.
