Permanent, Professional-Grade Ink for Long-Lasting Printmaking
Speedball Oil-Based Block Printing Ink is a high-performance ink formulated for professional-quality prints on both paper and fabric. Known for its rich pigmentation and archival durability, this ink produces bold, lasting impressions on a variety of traditional printmaking surfaces, including linoleum and wood.
Designed to be permanent and waterproof, the ink is ideal for projects that demand longevity. While it has a slower drying time—especially on textiles—it rewards the wait with a durable, fade-resistant finish. On fabric, full curing may take up to two weeks.
Cleanup requires solvent-based solutions such as mineral spirits or turpentine. Despite its oil base, the ink is ACMI AP Non-Toxic and conforms to ASTM D-4236 standards, making it safe for studio, classroom, or home use.
