Love creating unique designs on fabric but hate heat-setting? Then Speedball’s Fabric Block Printing Inks are for you!

Review: Wibrant colors no fading - I’ve been very impressed with this block printing fabric ink. Easy to apply, and transfers beautifully onto fabric. The colors come out rich and vibrant, holding up well after washing without significant fading. It dries at a reasonable pace, which makes it easy to work with for both beginners and experienced printers.
Review: Great product but dries fast - This ink is great and incredibly opaque. Since it’s pretty much the only opaque white option for linocut on fabric I’m not gonna give it too much of a hard time but I do wish it stayed wetter longer. It dries quite quickly and becomes difficult to use. I have had to get a toothbrush to clean it out of my Lino blocks because it gets caught in the tiny crevices and won’t come off without a good brushing. I might be too used to using water based inks so take that into consideration when reading my review. It works best with 100% cotton or linen with no stretch element but gets the job done on stretch fabric with only a little greying. I almost exclusively print on black with white ink so I use this product constantly and my biggest complaint is the smell. If you’re used to oil painting it smells similar to oil paint which isn’t terrible but definitely leave your windows open when printing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of solvent is recommend to use with this paint?**
A: turpentine or Thinner

**Q: Can I just use this straight out of the tube with a paint brush on fabric?**
A: You are going to want to use a brayer (a special roller for ink) if you want an even application of this ink. It is very think.

**Q: What is the difference between the  "Opaque White" and "White" inks, are they intended to be used for different purposes?**
A: The opaque white is thicker/ less translucent (hence the name) it does a better job of printing solid white over darker fabrics.

**Q: Can you mix colors successfully?**
A: Yes! Pallet knife. It’s been a long time since I have done this, and I don’t remember what to thin it with just a tad IF necessary—but I did get a lovely lavender with violet and white a few years back.😊

Exactly what I needed to make patches. It holds up through the wash great. And it doesn’t bleed when I used hot beeswax to waterproof
