Speedball - Block Printing Metallic Ink Set

Block Printing Metallic Ink Set

Pull luminous metallic prints that shimmer without the mess of oil-based inks

Substantial enough to transfer cleanly from carved surfaces without pooling in recessed areas, yet fluid enough to roll out evenly on glass or brayer plates.

Strong transfer tack means the ink lifts completely from your block in a single pull, eliminating the patchy coverage that plagues thinner metallic formulations. Each impression shows consistent color density from edge to edge, whether you're printing large background areas or fine carved details. The inks dry to a satiny finish that catches light without excessive glitter, maintaining a sophisticated metallic sheen appropriate for both fine art prints and functional projects.

Beyond traditional block printing, these metallics perform reliably for stamping, card making, and mixed media applications where you need metallic accents that actually show up. Soap and water cleanup removes ink from tools and surfaces completely, no solvents required. Lightfast pigments resist fading, while minimal odor makes extended printing sessions comfortable. Each 1.25 oz. tube provides enough ink for multiple printing sessions without the commitment of larger containers.
