SPEEDBALL | Fabric Block Printing Ink

from $36.00

Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink is specially formulated for relief printing on fabric. This water-washable, oil-based ink produces bold, vibrant colour on cotton, polyester and many other natural and synthetic fabrics.

The ink becomes touch dry overnight and cures naturally within 4–7 days, with no heat setting required. Once cured, prints remain permanent through washing without cracking or peeling. A wide range of colours are available, including a transparent extender for creating custom tones.

Why we love it at The Armarie Room:

We've chosen to stock Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink because it is one of the few inks specifically developed for fabric block printing. Its easy clean-up, permanent finish and ability to cure without heat make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced printmakers exploring textiles.

Recommendations:

  • Ideal for relief printing onto fabric using lino or woodblocks.

  • Allow prints to cure for 4–7 days before washing.

  • Wash tools and rollers promptly with soap and water after printing.

  • Test on a fabric offcut before printing your final project, particularly on fabrics with specialist finishes.
