Speedball Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink Starter Set, 4-Color Set, 1.25-Ounce Tubes

I am a beginner in lino cut stamps. I used the yellow and the red ink. The yellow has a little black sharpie showing through. My bad. But I like the consistency of the ink.

Every single package split open at the back side where the hole to hang it is. Ink is good packaging sucks.

What I needed when I needed it

Basic set of water-based block printing inks. The red and blue are very saturated primary colors, but there is a lot of white in the yellow so its more of a butter color rather than a primary yellow. Either way, works well for my purposes. Smaller tubes, so they dont last super long, but great to play around with. Speedball is my go-to brand, especially for water-based inks (there is more clean-up required with oil-based inks). I also have a roller from Speedball that has lasted me more than 2 years. Good stuff!

Speedball ink is always dependable, and the colors are vibrant.

This product is fast drying and a bit of a challenge for outdoor use in Arizona because it dries so fast. Good primary colors and mixability

Great vibrant color.

Easy to use. Good coverage. Bright , intense colors.

These were great for a newbie. It’s my first time making block prints and I’m very pleased with the quality. The colors are vibrant and I also tried mixing the blue and black for a navy color and it worked very well.

Maybe its because Im not experienced with screen printing, but it took more ink than I expected for my project (I put it on some paper). so squeeze a generous amount. easy to wash off too. one gripe i did have (could just be my inexperience of course) is when i mixed red and then blue, then a little more blue, it just kinda turned to black. i did use it on colored construction paper though, so maybe it effected how the colors looked later. great basic ink for screen printing.
