How long does it take a print to dry?

The ink is dry to touch in a short time, while on press I used a hair dryer to "flash" between prints. This ink often printed well the first time. I started with very small batches and hung them on a hanger in the garage for a day then tossed them in the clothes dryer before they went into use. If you get into more than a hobby you might consider dropping this ink and move onto a water-based ink by union ink. I went from speedball ink to Union's ATEX-8000-Q. It comes with a catalyst that cures the ink so you don't have to worry about washout. It's also cheaper in the long run. I quickly switched to plastisol inks and invested in all the equipment to go full scale. If it wasn't for this kit I never would have gotten started at all! Good luck with your screen-printing adventure!

Is the ink plastisol or water based?

It's water based, which means you can heat set it with an iron and parchment paper. Look for the steam!

Are the transparencies re-useable. Sorry if a stupid question, I'm new to this.

No not really but transparencies are pretty cheap. I got a hundred pack for like $15 on Amazon

Speedball transparencies i find on amazon have “inkjet” in the title, but the instructions indicate laser printing is required. any recommendations?

Great question. Artwork created on either laser or inkjet transparencies will work with this kit. The Advanced All-In-One Kit comes with (2) Speedball Transparency sheets which are to be used with an inkjet printer.
