Speedball - Oil-Based Block Printing Inks

Oil-Based Block Printing Inks

Print bold, washable designs that stay vibrant through countless cycles

Oil-based inks maintain their intensity through printing, drying, and washing cycles where water-based alternatives fade. Speedball's oil-based block printing inks deliver waterproof, permanent color that survives repeated laundering on fabric prints and resists environmental degradation on paper. The formulation stays workable longer on your brayer and plate, giving you time to achieve even ink distribution and consistent impressions across multiple pulls without rushing.

These inks clean up with standard printmaking solvents, kerosene, mineral spirits, or turpentine, making them compatible with established oil-based workflows. The pigment-rich consistency spreads evenly with minimal pressure, capturing fine linework and subtle surface texture from your carved blocks. AP non-toxic certification confirms these inks meet ASTM D-4236 safety standards despite their solvent base.

Compact 1.25-ounce tubes (37cc) provide enough ink for multiple printing sessions while remaining portable for workshop settings or shared studio spaces. Edition printers value the archival stability; fabric artists appreciate colors that survive the wash. Whether you're printing tea towels or fine art multiples, these inks maintain their chromatic integrity long after the impression dries.
