Review: Great stuff! - We got this for my son who likes to compete in a printmaking category for school. Last year, he used regular water based ink and kept having problems with it drying too fast to do a good job. This stuff was great! It doesn't dry right away which gave him plenty of time to be careful and even roll out multiple colors on his matrix before making the actual print. The only caution is that it stays 'powdery' after drying so it's a good idea to spray it with a fixative to avoid smudging.
Review: Water soluble and thick enough - Professional art materials for art submissions. Easy to wash off hands. Water soluble.
