Strong white pigment! Great consistency and quality!

I bought this ink to use with freezer paper stencils cut with my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine. I used it to make a shirt for my son's first birthday, white on navy blue. The white stayed bright and strong with only one coat! Very happy with the consistency and appearance of this ink on my dark shirt! I used a sponge brush to apply the ink with the stencil. Sometimes it felt like I was using a lot of ink, but it was likely because the sponge soaked it all up. Plus, I wanted the white to be good and heavy, so I didn't skimp. I should mention that I also purchased the black ink and it was actually the first of the two that I used. I'm pretty sure I read reviews that said to use gloves, but I forgot. The seal under the lid was very hard to get off, even with the tab that was there for that purpose. My thumb and fingers ended up covered in the ink after wrestling the seal off the container. Because it was black, it was easy to see the ink everywhere it ended up, on my body and work surfaces. I also wasn't as pleased with my final result with the black ink project I did but it was almost surely my fault because I was afraid to use too much so I probably didn't apply a heavy enough coat. I also used a cheap boys white undershirt that stretched a bunch and cracked the design before I could heat set it. I used gloves with the white ink and the seal on the white ink container came off with the tab the way it was supposed to. My experience was great! But it left me curious. I've done screen printing a few times (took a class in college for my graphic design curriculum) and I feel like using a screen vs the freezer paper would be a more economical use of this ink. It worked great for this project and probably for others I will do in the future, but it left me aching for the screen printing method and experience. In fact, I've looked at the screens and other products available through Speedball and I might be persuaded to shift my focus to using screens instead of freezer paper.

First time I use this paint and its amazing.

Thisbis my first time using any type of silk screen stuff. I read and did a lot of research on best beginners paint and this is it. I made a few t shirts for a high school student running for asb president. I am so excited on the turn out of the t shirts and she too was really excited. I really like this paint. Out of this small jar I made about 15 prints. I ran a few tshirts through the washer and dryer 5 times and the paint is flawless! Check out my pics.

Speedball Black Fabric Ink

I love this ink. This was my first attempt to do screen printing. My project turned out better than I had expected. I did obviously not get enough ink in a couple of places, but considering I've never done this before, I'm more than pleased with how it turned out~ I did add some Heat Transfer Glitter Vinyl to give it that extra blingy color~ This did dry much faster than I had expected it to~ I am very happy with this product! I will definitely continue to be a loyal customer! Super Fast Shipping! LOVE!

Love it

Very pigmented color! And color goes on smoothly. Used it to make my daughters Harley Quinn costume and I'm so happy how it came out. I was hesitant to use fabric paint and wanted fabric ink instead and I'm SO GLAD I DID. LOVEE ITT

Other than that I really like this product

I am very new to screen printing and heard that white is a little more difficult to work with than other colors. This ink is a little bit thick and I had to make a few passes with flash drying between passes. It got a little bit stiff but I just sprayed it with some water to loosen it back up. Other than that I really like this product. It has a nice white brightness and it doesn't feel too thick on the t-shirt. I cured the ink with an iron and had no problems washing the shirt. I plan to use this ink again soon.

Good stick, good endurance, good look.

I used this to make Bernie Sanders shirts and while his campaign wasn't a roaring success, this ink was. Shirts survive multiple washings and look great. Easy cleanup (relatively speaking) and good consistency.

A good quality ink to use for screenprinting

A good quality ink to use for screenprinting, it's very pigmented and seems to do the job. However it does need to be heat-set for either a longer time or at a higher temperature compared to most other inks I've been using, otherwise it is prone to smearing or washing off. It is very viscous so I would recommend mixing a few drops of water prior to use if you are using a higher count mesh silk.

Great ink, applies smoothly, lasts

I would highly recommend this screen printing ink. I recently purchased this to run a batch of homemade shirts for a local organization. This ink smoothly applies through the screen and I had no problems with the screen clogging. After applying the ink, it dries relatively quickly and sets very nicely with an iron. I have shirts that are two years old that I used this ink on, and they still look pretty good after many, many washes. I would recommend this ink for the DIY screen printer.

Great buy!

Great quality product! ink came out great on the fabric i used. Great consistency and bold color, will be buying more colors for future projects. Dries well after heat set, even did a wash and dry test, and still came out perfect! definitely recommend.
