Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink

I’ve been very impressed with this block printing fabric ink. Easy to apply, and transfers beautifully onto fabric. The colors come out rich and vibrant, holding up well after washing without significant fading. It dries at a reasonable pace, which makes it easy to work with for both beginners and experienced printers.

Exactly what I needed to make patches. It holds up through the wash great. And it doesn’t bleed when I used hot beeswax to waterproof

Thick white paint that works GREAT for block printing. I print on black mostly and thid stuff never letd me down. Trust the process, the first few will look patchy but after two or three prints idk it thickens up and the transfers befome more complete or you figure out how to use your hands to press it in better? But the first pull was patchy and thin and gave me a heart attack and I glad I pushed through.

One of my favorite inks - even for paper- since it drys to touch fast- no waiting a week for drying. Yet, does clog delicate lines when printing repeats, due to the fast drying quality. Cleaning block required, before continuing.

Smaller than I expected, but works. I’m a beginner so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I’d buy this brand again. It’s a solid color and a little went a long way for me. It’s easy to use if you’re just putting a glob of it on a surface and rolling one of those plastic paint rollers over it!

This ink is great and incredibly opaque. Since it’s pretty much the only opaque white option for linocut on fabric I’m not gonna give it too much of a hard time but I do wish it stayed wetter longer. It dries quite quickly and becomes difficult to use. I have had to get a toothbrush to clean it out of my Lino blocks because it gets caught in the tiny crevices and won’t come off without a good brushing. I might be too used to using water based inks so take that into consideration when reading my review. It works best with 100% cotton or linen with no stretch element but gets the job done on stretch fabric with only a little greying. I almost exclusively print on black with white ink so I use this product constantly and my biggest complaint is the smell. If you’re used to oil painting it smells similar to oil paint which isn’t terrible but definitely leave your windows open when printing.

I bought this ink as it seems to be just about the only no-heat set required product available for block printing on fabric. It rolled and printed well and looks great after washing my shirt (after waiting the 7 days indicated in the instructions).

I was looking for ink to use on a canvas tote bag that wouldn't wash off or ruin whatever it was washed with. I also wanted it to stand up to daily use. I bought this based on recommendations from other printmaking sites, and I'm so glad I did. The pigment was perfect and the ink was so smooth. It felt like regular printmaking ink. I waited the 2 weeks or so to cure it before washing it, and it didn't bleed, fade, or wash out. There was no transfer to other fabrics, and the print looked exactly like it did before washing it. I will say that I was feeling very impatient waiting for it to cure because I wanted to test it out in the washer before finishing the other totes. Now, I use this ink for any cloth I print on. I will definitely buy this again!

it takes about 3 days to dry fully, that's a high quality ink

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

The ink dries incredibly fast, which is slightly annoying while inking stamps, but it's pretty good otherwise. I tested it on a shirt, after the first wash it still looked perfect. I've printed 40 small pieces, it used less than half the tube. it goes pretty far, I'm excited to see how well it holds up.

This is my favourite fabric printing ink. I do lino printing, onto papyand fabric. This version works really well on fabric, it's nice and thick. I've also used it (watered down) for hand painting with a brush. It's a little bit smelly, nothing awful, and doesn't need heat setting. Just give it a couple of days, then it's done. I've put several bags through the wash afterwards and they're perfect. Happy to recommend.

La compre para imprimir en unas tote bags negras, PESIMA IDEA. Compre esta tinta blanca OPACA, esperando que fuera OPACA, mala mía, supongo. No sirve para imprimir en tela, no la volvería a comprar, y menos habiendo gastado tanto por tan poca tinta, yo ilusa esperaba que por el precio ridículo, funcionará como debería. Hice las pruebas y en la placa le tuve que poner cantidades abismales (5 veces la cantidad de la que uso en comparación con las tintas coyote sobre papel) de tinta porque se veía que nomas no quería agarrar en mi linóleo, y pues menos agarro en la tela. Vi que tambien servía para imprimir en papel, y quise darle la oportunidad para saber si era yo o el producto, y en efecto es el producto, porque en papel imprimió perfecto, opaco, como deberia haber impreso en tela. No sirve para tela, pero si para papel. Supongo para darle una gracia, 2 estrellas.
