Speedball Acrylic Screen Printing Ink, 32-Ounce, White

My Jamaican friend makes his Lindsay original t-shirts. This has worked well for him for many years. He always requests for me to bring more when I visit

If you are printing posters, buy this. It dries fast and blocks underlying colors with ease. I was using a more expensive black that worked terrible on paper and took way too long to dry. This stuff is great. First pic is with speedball black, second pic is with the other, inferior stuff

This review will probably not help most people looking at this item, but I have to share my success. I watched some you-tube videos showing how to color synthetic hair & then bought this ink & one in dark red to color my synthetic light reddish or copper hair to darker, less bright burgundy. I poured 70% isopropyl alcohol in a clear spray bottle, then spooned a little of ultra blue ink with some of this red in the bottle to make a purplish color. I then sprayed the mixture on some of my cheaper scrunchies first to test it. The brown one with yellow-brown tones did not end up well. But the bright light copper "tousled" curly scrunchie ended up very usable. It is still slightly lighter than my hair, but will work fine. The ink does make the hair less shiny, but that is a good thing since some synthetic hair is too shiny & my hair is very dry, frizzy, & dull looking anyway. I have some spray oily hair gloss that improved the sheen. You can always go darker with this ink, but not lighter with synthetic hair. A word of caution: I did not listen to others that said to use this in a well ventilated area like outdoors. I have a poor sense of smell probably due to chronic allergies & sinus problems & the smell really did not bother me when I was using it. But it later caused awful migraine-like headaches. I recommend using a mask when you spray if you have to use this indoors. I sprayed over a very, very large bowl I use when I color my human hair pieces. I bet this stuff might stain a white sink. I rinsed in a stainless steel sink & scrubbed it immediately after. Some recommend letting hair dry over several hours or a day or two before washing, then using some type of spray conditioner. This is much easier & simpler than the "sharpie" method which I have not tried yet. The pictures are of the same scrunchie, same brand, type & color: one colored & one not. One lady used a mix of black & burnt umber ink to make a light silver blonde wig a pretty brown color.

Its a learning curve since we've used solvent based ink forever. Had to buy water based emulsion and block out. So far Speedball ink seems to be holding up. Prints well. Very easy cleanup.

I had zero experience with screen printing, so my first shirt obviously did not turn out great, to no fault of this product. I followed the easy directions for curing and the print is holding up extremely well. I was worried it would be easier to screw up, but nope! Super easy to use, even for beginners, and it will hold up on clothes great. I used it on a t-shirt and I have washed it many times, and it still looks exactly the same.

The carrier must have been playing football with my package because it arrived dripping ink everywhere LOL. Luckily Amazon refunded me and I have a new one on the way. I was able to test it out however and it is very high quality ink. Definitely would recommend. Just be careful when you open the package lol

I bought this ink to screen print onto cardstock. It works wonderfully. The ink isn't too thick and spreads nicely across the silk screen. The color comes out opaque and dries quickly. Speedball Professional Poster Acrylic Ink, 32 oz Jar, Black (004920)

I love this color and it looks great. The only issue I had was the first one I order had blown up in the packaging but they were great and replaced it!
