Speedball - Screen Printing Glitter Additive

Screen Printing Glitter Additive

Add dazzling shimmer to screen prints with adjustable sparkle intensity

Iridescent particles suspended in screen printing ink catch light differently than flat pigments, creating dimension that shifts as viewing angles change. Speedball's Glitter Additive integrates directly into any of their screen printing inks, letting you control shimmer intensity through mixing ratios, add sparingly for subtle highlights or load it heavily for maximum sparkle. The 004 particle size passes cleanly through 85 and 110 mesh counts without clogging screens, maintaining smooth pulls across multiple impressions.

Mix this additive into your base ink before flooding the screen. The particles distribute evenly throughout, ensuring consistent sparkle density across your printed area rather than clustering or settling. Once cured, the glitter bonds permanently into the ink film, resisting flaking or shedding through washing and handling. The shaker container dispenses measured amounts, preventing waste while keeping the additive dry between sessions.

AP certification confirms non-toxic formulation suitable for educational and studio environments. Use it to enhance concert posters, greeting cards, or textile designs where dimensional shimmer adds visual interest beyond flat color alone.
