Speedball Art Products Company Water Soluble Block Ink

Love the results I got using this ink! Very easy to use on different printing plates!

This printing ink has been great for my daughter's project. Not only is it incredibly easy to clean ['cause is water soluble] but it makes all her work to look really clean and well-printed. She used it with Rubber Stamp Carving Blocks and it adapts to the paper's texture very well. It dries fast and the ink doesn't run when you pass your fingers over it. I took a couple of pictures of her work using this ink for you to see. Most of the textures where caused by the stamp and the different types of paper actually. The ink has a matte finish as well. A little bit of the ink is just right to printing a tons. I would also recommend to get an rubber roller to smooth out the ink before using it. By the way, using too much ink can cause the finish of the art to not be as clean as it should.

Im new to linocutting & printing so wanted to get a smaller bottle to ensure I'd use it all before investing in different colors. Its nice & smooth - no clumps! However, it dries really fast! Prints come out nice as well. As a beginner this great for small test runs til you get the hang of the hobby.

Good stuff, I'm learning how to do linocut printing and if you, like myself, are also learning please listen to the professionals. I thought at first I would be cheeky and not use as much ink and I thought "HA! I don't need to roll it out, that's dumb! I'll just coat my brayer with a brush and be good to go!" Nope. Don't be like me. Listen to the people who have been doing this successfully forever. Roll out your ink and apply only once silky. The difference is astounding. Finally got some decent prints after giving up on doing things my stubborn a$$ way. Love that it's easy to clean up. I roll mine out in an old metal palette, but I've seen glass be used as well. I'm sure any smooth surface would be acceptable.

Easy printmaking ink for kids. Washed of tables and plates with water. Be careful with clothing and wear an apron.

I highly recommend this ink for anyone trying block printing for the first time. I was impressed by how little I needed in order to cover a substantial area- I imagine it could even be watered down to stretch it further, and this may even be desired in order to spread it further and manipulate the resulting texture.

This is the best brand of block printing ink out there! I’ve tried others but always come back to it!

Black, thick sticky ink. Brayer use a must. Easy clean up tho.

Tiny and very watery buy esdee neons instead

Didn’t expect to be that small and so expensive. Not cold at all .
