Speedball Water Based Block Printing Inks 473ml

The Speedball Water Based Block/Relief Printing inks are a range of long lasting inks with a great selection of colours, including some metallics. This inks dry fairly quickly and are great for multiple layers. They can be printed over acrylic paint.

This range is available in a suite of different size tubes and pot. Tubes of 35ml, 75ml and 150ml allow you to preserve ink and encourage minimal waste. The largest size, the 473ml tin, is perfect for big blocks or large editions.

There are two mediums available for this range, the Extender and Ink Retarder. The Extender is a clear ink base that will add transparency to colours, and the Ink Retarder can be used to slow down drying time in hotter weather. These are only available in the 37ml size.


*Please Note: Speedball have recently updated their packaging across a range of products, you may receive a slightly different design than pictured but contents remain the same
