Questions & Answers
The substance is made of water. It would be greatly appreciated if you could give it a thumbs up!
Unless you want to extend the paint or make it more transparent, you don't need to mix it with any mediums.
If you don't want the lines to bleed, I recommend using contact paper. The stencils I make are crisp and sharp because I use contact paper.
Selected User Reviews For Speedball Fabric Screen Printing Ink, 8-Ounce, Black
People, please be cautious. The white paint was a huge letdown for me. I recently used black Speedball, which worked well and looked great after being applied to the garment, cured, and washed. There were no issues, but the color white was very different. Which is unfortunate because, compared to other brands, I believe this paint is the easiest to use. After I applied the white paint to the garment, allowed it to dry, and then washed it; THE PAINT HAD FRACTURES IN IT. Making the image on the garment appear shabby and out of date. I'm guessing it's due to the fact that this paint is thinner than others. However, if you intend to paint your T-shirt with this white paint, Don't start a t-shirt printing company. It will not be able to withstand the test of time. Black is, on the other hand, acceptable. White isn't one of them. For my business, I used the white on approximately 20 shirts. After one wash, I discovered that the paint had cracked. That does not bode well for my company or my shirt quality. As a result, I will be unable to resell my shirts. The white paint quality at Speedball needs to be re-configured.
This is my first time working with any kind of silk screen material. This is the best beginner paint I found after a lot of reading and research. br>I designed a few t-shirts for a high school student who is running for president of the ASB. I'm really happy with how the t-shirts turned out, and she seemed to be as well. This paint is one of my favorites. I got about 15 prints out of this small jar. br>I washed and dried a few t-shirts five times, and the paint still looks great! br>Take a look at the photos I've taken.
This ink is one of my favorites. This was my first time printing on a screen. My project turned out to be even better than I had hoped. I obviously didn't get enough ink in a couple of places, but considering I've never done anything like this before, I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I did add some Heat Transfer Glitter Vinyl to give it that extra blingy color. This dried much faster than I had expected. I am very happy with this product and will definitely continue to be a loyal customer! Shipping is lightning fast! LOVE!.
br>br>I made the stripes by taping them out with frog tape and dabbing the color between the lines with the TINIEST amount of ink on a round sponge. I removed the tape after the ink had dried and was left with crisp lines! (For this method, I've included a photo of my original fabric test. ) )br>br>Because it's fabric ink, and I only used a small amount, it didn't bleed through the shirt or into the taped-off lines. I would strongly suggest it!.
With just one coat, the white remained bright and strong! I used a sponge brush to apply the ink with the stencil and was very pleased with the consistency and appearance of it on my dark shirt. I felt like I was wasting a lot of ink at times, but that was most likely due to the sponge soaking it all up. I also didn't skimp on the white because I wanted it to be thick and heavy. br>br>I should also point out that I bought black ink as well, and it was the first of the two that I used. I think I read somewhere that gloves should be worn, but I didn't remember. Even with the tab that was there for that purpose, it was difficult to remove the seal under the lid. After yanking the seal off the container, my thumb and fingers were covered in ink. Because the ink was black, it was easy to see it all over my body and on my work surfaces. I wasn't happy with the final result of my black ink project, but that was almost certainly my fault because I was afraid of using too much and didn't apply a thick enough coat. I also used a cheap white undershirt for boys that stretched out a lot and cracked the design before I could heat set it. With the white ink, I used gloves, and the seal on the white ink container came off with the tab, just like it should have. br>br>I had a fantastic time! But it piqued my interest. I've done some screen printing before (as part of my graphic design curriculum in college), and I believe that using a screen rather than freezer paper would be a more cost-effective use of this ink. It worked well for this project and will most likely work well for others in the future, but it made me long for the screen printing method and experience. In fact, after looking at the screens and other products offered by Speedball, I'm thinking about switching from freezer paper to screens.
This screen printing ink is highly recommended by me. This was recently purchased in order to produce a batch of homemade t-shirts for a local charity. This ink glides through the screen without clogging, and I had no issues with it. The ink dries quickly after application and irons out beautifully. I used this ink on shirts two years ago, and they're still looking great after many washes. I would recommend this ink to anyone who wants to make their own screen printer.
shirts. This small jar of ink was ideal for this project because it was small enough to allow for a trial run and would also work for many of my prints, given the small size of the linoleum I was using. This ink washed off the roller very well after being applied to the linoleum with a roller. It was gone after a few seconds of rinsing the roller with water. In the future, I plan to buy more colors in various quantities.
Return is not an option for me. I'm not sure if the product is faulty or if it's a knockoff, but it doesn't work properly. The ink is extremely thick and doesn't move well. This is particularly difficult given that the ink is for screen printing. The product is patchy and thick after it has been applied to a shirt. In most cases, speedball ink absorbs well into the fabric, giving it a smooth, even feel. It isn't the case with this. This purchase has left me extremely disappointed, and I would not recommend it. (The white ink was purchased. ).
