Speedball Water-Base Textile Screen Printing Inks are great for light-colored cotton, linen, blends, polyester, rayon, and other synthetic fibers (except nylon). Use the process colors for 4-color process printing. Speedball textile inks can also be brush-applied to tennis shoes, canvas bags, etc.

Use with water-resistant hand-cut films or direct emulsions such as Speedball Diazo Photo Screen Printing Emulsions or Speedball Drawing Fluid.

Recommended screen fabric is 74-124 mesh monofilament or 6XX to 10XX multifilament. Clean ink from screens with water. Inks should not be allowed to dry in the screen.

All garments should be pre-washed and the process pre-tested before a production run. After printing, allow to dry and then heat set with a household iron at medium setting for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.

Starter Set — The Starter Set includes six different colors in 4 oz jars. Colors include: Black, Red, Blue, White, Green, and Yellow.

Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Does the job

Comments about Speedball Water-Base Textile Screen Printing Inks:

I am still learning about inks, and I might try out some other brands just to see how well they print on dark shirts, but overall I really like the Speedball white. When it dries it does fade a little into the grey, but I still like it. It gives a more faded look. I do like this ink.

Speedball ink and Dick Blick

Comments about Speedball Water-Base Textile Screen Printing Inks:

I've been using Speedball inks since 1976 and Dick Blick since the mid 1980's. They are like 2 peas in a pod. It doesn't get any better than this !!

Speedball ink is always the perfect consistancy and goes thru smooth. Water clean-up is the greatest( I just put screens in shower and let "Delta" take over,lol.

If using this color, need to have a white base first. Will not print vibrant color without it. Nice product on white fabric or paper.

This works well on paper too!

Comments about Speedball Water-Base Textile Screen Printing Inks:

I use Speedball water-base Textile screen printing inks for my limited edition, original prints. I like the way it dries to a nice mat finish on Stonehenge paper. It mixes well with Speedball's Acrylic ink and transparent extender base. I can mix any color I want. Originally I bought it for printing textiles and later found that it works well on paper too.

works great

Pros

Comments about Speedball Water-Base Textile Screen Printing Inks:

I use this product with kids (age 9-14) at an artcamp. They do a great job with it silk screening T-shirts. The only pain is that it has to be heat set with an iron, so doing a job in mass can be time consuming. Otherwise a great product. Clean-up is super easy.

These are the first fabric inks I've worked with, but I can't see a need to look for any other kind since these worked perfectly and just for what I needed.
