Speedball Metallic Block Printing Ink Set by Speedball

I am pleased to have discovered these metallic inks. They give a professional finish and are easy to use.

It's consistancy makes it easy to print with. I used Lino tiles to print but I feel it would work well with polystyrene tiles too. It is thick and created a crisp print, even when overlaying colours. Wasn't too tacky either.

This ink is good stuff but seems quite expensive when you see how small the tubes are

colours are nice but the ink doesn't get tacky like it should. I found it impossible to get a solid print with put is g lots and then it leaked into the cut out space and ruined the print. I won't be using for printing but might use just as a paint.

I have done lots of lino cut printing and I have used speedball inks for lino cutting before and they have been great. These metalics however, do not give tack, they are smeary and greasy and basically no good for lino cut printing. Obviously, I can't send them back, so £22 down the drain.

as expected

Lovely colours, not the best for lino printing do not show up well on paper.

Not good, thin and poor printing, does not adhere well or transfer
