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

good colours for printing

Good value for newbies

Sure, a good starter set. Personally I find white and metallics can go the quickest, because these might be a bit much on their own (and personally I print only on white/light paper) but theyre so much fun to mix.

the ink quality is very nice. it spreads well and and the clean up does not require anything special. the smell is not strong or acrid. the colors are nice and bright. the gold does dry faster than the others but that tends to happen with all metallic paints or inks.

So how do I go about contacting someone to get my 6th color. My set only came with 5 colors, I am missing the gold color.

They are really small amounts for the price but it is good quality. Since it was for an art class of 20 students, it wasnt enough!

Perfect for my block printing experiment.

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.

One tube was separated into fluid and colour. One tube was too dry to spread.

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.
