Speedball Art Products Company Water Soluble Block Ink

Buy these all the time. No

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.

Ink is easy to use just needs to be mixed after opening. Prints really well in a dark black, just use pressure. Great value for the amount of ink you get, no stains and it immediately washes off with water or some Simple Green. I would buy this again, I use it for printmaking.

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.

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

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

Works like it should

I'm not sure if its just my inexperience, but this ink didn't work that well for us. It was much tackier and thicker than ink that I've used before, and made it challenging to spread and roll, and to get a good print. I'm going to look for something else next time.

Speedball block inks are always a pleasure to work with and this one is no different!

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

Tiny and very watery buy esdee neons instead
