Selected User Reviews For Speedball Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink, 2.5-Ounce Tube, Light Red
Despite the fact that I haven't used all of the ink colors, the consistency appears to be the same as it was 20 years ago. With a soft brayer, it's relatively simple to spread and it covers well.
For all of my linocut prints, this is the only product I use. Others have been tried dislike it.
and WOW. The ink appears to be slightly thicker and tackier than the other colors, and it produced a really cool print on turquoise paper. BUT. After it had dried, I discovered that I could rub the ink off the paper with a light touch. I didn't even have a fingernail. As if it were powder. I'M TIRED OF BEING TIRED OF BEING TIRED OF So I went out and bought some Krylon fixative, which I then sprayed. It took a few coats, and I despise the toxicity of the fumes, but I love the end result, and I'm going to keep working on it to see if I can figure out more about it because I adore the color.
I ordered the Dark Yellow and it arrived in a tube that was clearly separated and partially dried up - It did not print neatly. I tried an old ink of the same color and it worked fine, so I sent it back for a refund/exchange and received a replacement that did exactly the same thing. What a complete waste of time!.
I use it to print in my small business and am very pleased with the results; however, I received white by mistake and was quickly sent the correct color after contacting customer service. There's no need to worry! Excellent service and response time!.
It looks great with my prints.
I like the color, but it separated in the tube and was mostly liquid at first, and because it's in a tube, it's difficult to mix before using, which is frustrating.
