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

I used these for CC Fine arts projects. They worked great and last a long time. The projects are fantastic.

Ink was awful. Extremely thick to the point that rolling it onto the roller was nearly impossible because you would get so much on it that the print would be smudged without even pressing it

Good

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.

Great product! My prints took 36 hours to dry to touch. Im concerned about the odor of my finished project. Im hoping my customers will not comment on it.

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.

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.

Used these with an after school print class of 5th graders, and they worked well

Great for kids printmaking projects. We used this to do printmaking with foam printing plates in conjunctions with the Melissa and Doug Block printing paper. The ink does come out pretty thick, but its no problem making vibrant prints. Just make sure to thoroughly ink your plates and not wait too long to print. No complaints for the variety of colors and amount you get for this price.

Ive used Speedball water-soluble inks for decades--first as an elementary school art teacher and now for at-home projects. Bright colors, rolls out nicely with brayer, dries quickly.
