Speedball : Fabric Block Printing Ink

Speedball’s Fabric Block Printing Inks are an oil-based range of bold, permanent colours designed to be washed up with soap and water. They are opaque inks with excellent coverage, and by adding Speedball’s Fabric Block Printing Transparent Extender, you can create transparent colours while maintaining the inks' viscosity.

These inks are designed to print onto smooth fabrics that do not possess a heavy texture or stretch, such as cotton, linen, broadcloth or denim. Nylon and canvas are not recommended. Your printing block can be lino, wood or any similar surface and soft rubber rollers or brayers are ideally suited for inking the block.

Speedball’s Fabric Block Printing Inks will dry to the touch overnight, depending on your climate, and they do not require any setting with heat. It is recommended that you wait 4-7 days before washing your fabrics after printing.
