Speedball Water-Soluble Metallic Block Printing Ink Set, 4 Iridescent Colors with Satiny Finish, 1.25-Ounce Tubes

I didnt pay attention to what size these tubes are - I was expecting the standard size like you find at art supply store but these are smaller tubes. Still a great value and they dry very pretty.

Great colors, the cards we made turned out beautifully!

Used it for fish painting (forget the Japanese name), worked very well! Kids loved the metallic sparkles. But they are hard to wash off the rubber fish molds and brushes. So be careful!

Love it!

Freaking awesome inks. I mix them with the primaries to produce shimmery blues, reds and blacks. Really cool and fun to play with! The photo has three examples of some stamp prints I put on cards using the metallics.

Slightly strange smell coming from these tubes, though I do love the colors! Ive been having fun blending them with non-metallic colors.

I am extremely happy with this kit. It is going to allow me to experiment with new inks without investing a huge amount. The colours you get with the kit mean you can mix your own colours which, of course, extends the options you have. Will most likely buy the kit again because I wont be using the inks as my daily go-to medium, and it will give me options without a huge investment in ink which may go to waste if I have to buy full-sized tubes.

My main complaint is that it separates and needs to be applied to something and stirred before I can use it on my printing plate. If I forget and apply it directly to the plate, the next couple prints are ruined by the large amount of watery liquid that comes out. Even squeezing the tube to try to mix it before using doesnt help. I do love the colors and sparkles, but not enough to make me want to buy this product again.

Perfect for making Holidays cards that got a wonderful reception
