Thanks for visiting. Adding heat to Speedball's opaque fabric screen printing inks will ensure that the ink dries fast Washfast fabrics require setting or curing in order to be effective. A household iron can help set them. Make sure that the setting on your iron matches the setting on the fabric. Be sure to use fabrics that can endure temperatures of 275° F and more You need to heat the water to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Fabrics such as nylon are not porous, so don't use this on them. Your printed design should be covered by a piece of paper (simply copy paper is best) and cured with an iron for one minute one time only I won't take more than two
I have used the product on both light and dark backgrounds without any
The screen printing would be blurry, but it is also applicable to whatever kind of material you want to print, such as fabric, paper, glass, and If you want to see some diy videos on technics on how to use this ink, click here. The ink is designed to soak into fabric, so it will last a long time.
There are two kinds they offer, one for cotton and blends, the other for man made fibers. I would choose that one, though.
Selected User Reviews For Speedball Opaque Fabric Screen Printing Ink Starter Set
There is a nice variety here and the colors make a great combination. There was quite a mess in the package since the black jar had popped open during delivery. As well as the silver, a little bit leaked. It appears to be more of a charcoal gray color than black, which I had also assumed the black would be. However, it could be the pearlescent type ink that makes it appear that way. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with it and I have ordered several shirts.
I haven't used it yet but the colors are really nice. The only downside is that when it arrived, the silver, yellow, and red inks were all leaking out. In addition, I saw that none of the lids of the jars were tightly fastened and that 3 of them didn't even have a seal. There is one thing I am disappointed with, and that is the fact some of the ink is gone. I know it's not fair, but this.
The purpose of this item is to print on dark fabrics using screen printing. I had previously bought and used the single 8 oz jars with no issues, so I decided to buy the starter set to try the raspberry, black pearl, blue topaz, There was paint outside of the raspberry lid due to an open lid. There was only one sealed package and none of the others were like this, so I have no idea how it happened, but I'm not happy with it as it's everywhere and I've lost half my raspberry paint. It was my intention to give a good review to this, but I am just not pleased with how it.
It was great to have these inks. There is a shimmer or sheen to it, it is glossier This is different from the matte paint on the first set or the I'm very different from everyone else. This was a great hit with everyone. Each year I create a silkscreen for my camp and the kids and staff wear shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, pillowcases, you name it - all these things are given away as gifts Having screened it on for them, I then send it to If you were able to use all the colors, I think you would probably get 75-80 prints A full-scale screen with 400 screens and a six pot set (my screens use a lot of ink) takes 100 boxes of ink The area would be larger if your design was smaller and the volume of ink was less.
Despite hoping the reviews were not true, they turned out to be true. It's going to be 3 days before I get some printing done, and this ink was delivered with every container open and mixed together. I was splattered with beautiful ink like a soupy mess. The screen printing process is not suitable for the material. In most of the containers, 95% of the contents have been spilled, and two of them have about 1/3 of the contents The untimely accident has cost me a client who had a very tight deadline and I am not at all happy about it. I cannot go to a craft store for opaque ink for my project.
Unfortunately, I do not have that option. I'll post pics when I have them.
This product was delivered to me within the promised timeframe. It has worked for me in the past and I will continue to use it. A disappointing phenomenon I experienced was that when the box arrived, one of the containers, the silver box in particular, appeared to have blown the inner seal, leaking the product into the box Obviously, you cannot know how long the product was left open, and therefore, its shelf life may be affected. The failure of the packaging appears to have been caused by an unknown factor.
A jar with yellow ink leaking from a broken portion of something I ordered was shipped to me. When something like this is shipped, that happens. They sent out a new set as soon as I called. I was pleased with how smoothly the ink applied and how quickly it dried. What a lovely way to spend time. The customer service there is also excellent.
I am still waiting to hear from you. Have just started screen printing and would like to practice a few sample sizes to get familiar with the process. It was great that you had 6 colors to choose from. I didn't notice anything wrong with the box (packaging), but the pink colored jar has a crack in the bottom and leaked ink inside. We had to leave a message for the manufacturer (speedball), as indicated in the information. Three days have gone by and still no word. I used the pearly white on a shirt and it turned out really well. It might be better to do another pass to add more substance.
