This acrylic-based printing ink is good for screen or block printing, and works on fabric or paper! Cleans up with soap and water!
Use right out of the tube to screenprint, and for blockprinting, simply allow 15 minutes for the ink to set up and develop tackiness.
Impression Inks are easy to work with and offer excellent coverage. Use straight out of the tube or use with the Clear Gloss Modifier to extend, increase transparency, and sheen. If a change in consistency is desired, gel medium, polymer mediums, or water can be added to add thickness or thinness to the ink.
After a minimum of 24hrs drying time, this ink is permanent! Not for use on synthetic fabric. Heat-set required before washing.
