Permanent, Professional-Grade Ink for Long-Lasting Printmaking

Speedball Oil-Based Block Printing Ink is a durable, professional-quality ink made for long-lasting prints on paper and fabric. With strong pigmentation and archival strength, it produces bold, permanent impressions on linoleum, wood, and other traditional printmaking surfaces.

The ink is waterproof and built for lasting results. It dries slowly, especially on fabric, but cures to a tough, fade-resistant finish that stands up to time. On textiles, full curing may take up to two weeks.

Cleanup requires solvent-based products such as mineral spirits or turpentine. Despite being oil-based, the ink is ACMI AP Non-Toxic and meets ASTM D-4236 standards, making it safe for studio, classroom, or home use.
