Speedball Water-Soluble Metallic Block Printing Ink Set, 4 Iridescent Colors with Satiny Finish, 1.25-Ounce Tubes

Fine

Though I love these colors and I love speedball products one of these colors literally popped open at the bottom and the ink went all over the place. I can’t even find the page to show when and where I bought this product so I couldn’t even return it. Now that I am doing a review on another product that shows up so I might as well tell it.

My main complaint is that it separates and needs to be applied to something and stirred before I can use it on my printing plate. If I forget and apply it directly to the plate, the next couple prints are ruined by the large amount of watery liquid that comes out. Even squeezing the tube to try to mix it before using doesnt help. I do love the colors and sparkles, but not enough to make me want to buy this product again.

Perfect, just what my daughter wanted!

Freaking awesome inks. I mix them with the primaries to produce shimmery blues, reds and blacks. Really cool and fun to play with! The photo has three examples of some stamp prints I put on cards using the metallics.

liked it

Used it for fish painting (forget the Japanese name), worked very well! Kids loved the metallic sparkles. But they are hard to wash off the rubber fish molds and brushes. So be careful!

Slightly strange smell coming from these tubes, though I do love the colors! Ive been having fun blending them with non-metallic colors.

I didnt pay attention to what size these tubes are - I was expecting the standard size like you find at art supply store but these are smaller tubes. Still a great value and they dry very pretty.
