Black Ink Block Printing Packs

Comments about Black Ink Block Printing Packs:

This paper is nice but the pack could be improved by including more exciting colors, or at least two. It's a bit too basic and some are too dark to use for my printing purposes so I'll have to find something else to do with them.

Comments about Black Ink Block Printing Packs:

The smooth side takes relief ink really well. I like them for lino block printing. The colored ones fade in the sun, so watch it. They are a little thin if you are doing a reduction print with several colors. The price is competitive if you factor in the shipping.

Love printing with this paper. I do woodblock prints and they come out with a very nice look on these papers. I hand rub them. Wish they came in a larger size.

Comments about Black Ink Block Printing Packs:

I've found I get excellent results when hand-burnishing linocut prints with Black Ink paper. The paper has just the right texture and weight and gives me really smooth prints. I've tried a few of the other well-respected printmaking papers (Arches, etc), and found they are far too heavy or the incorrect texture to get good prints without a press (IMO). I wish Black Ink sold this same paper in slightly larger sizes. A 9x13"-ish version would be great!

I've been hand printing glue line plates over gelli plate prints. This paper prints clearly and I can see the ink transfer from the back as I spoon rub, so I know when which areas I have covered. A good range of subtle and rich the colors in the variety pack.

I love this paper for linoleum and woodcuts especially when printing without a press. I wish dickblick carried the large sheets and rolls of this paper.
