Speedball Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink Starter Set, 6 Bold Colors with Satin Finish, 1.25-Ounce Tubes

Just what I needed .. easy and clean.

This value pack is a great buy especially compared to looking at the same product at Joanns or Michaels. Even trying to use coupons it is hard to beat this price. The little bit of ink goes a long ways in each tube too.

This product is nice, but the ink dries very quickly so I recommend using some retarder to slow down the drying of the ink, especially if youre planning on printing large editions.Also, it doesnt seem to work very well with battleship linoleum so I would recommend using it on woodblocks. Clean up is very easy with just soap and water.

good paint! not very much for the price, though.

Not a huge volume of ink, but just enough to get going and do some fun block printing projects. Mixed up some other colors. Texture is perfect. Way way cheaper than any store around here.

A good starter set for block printing - I had been using leftover screen printing ink, and wondered what the difference was - this proper block printing ink drys a lot slower, allowing you to squeeze just what you need onto your glass for each pull and keeping the brayer from clogging or drying out too quickly. When I decide what colors I want my prints to be, I will buy larger tubes of each.

I had a hard time getting to print several sheets. The ink dried too fast on my plate, and even with the retarder I couldn’t get more than two copies without having to add more ink and more retarder. May be the weather was too warm. I followed instructions online and I put the right amount of ink on the plate, and went by the book. I wanted to try water based inks to avoid toxicity inside my home studio, but I don’t think I will order these inks again. I didn’t want to return them, so I will use them up in small projects. I would not recommend it for more professional work. They will be fine for working with students, for demonstrations and small craft projects.

These worked well. Maybe a bit on the thick side, but not bad. One tube did come leaking, so I wasnt a fan of that. Also, I dont feel like theres a lot of value here. I can buy these in the store for a lower price.

This ink is fantastic, my only complaint is that its so expensive and doesnt last very long if you make a lot of prints like I do. Ive tried the cheaper inks on Amazon and they were horrible. I gotta say these are vastly superior inks that give a truly beautiful result. I block print and rubber stamp print on paper and fabric and these work very well. I also use the speedball metallics which are amazing mixed with these to make shimmery colors. I also mix them a lot and layer them to make different effects and it comes out great. It just takes a bit of experimentation! The photo shows The result of one such experiment.

tubes were smaller than I pictured, but good product
