I bought the brown ink which was excellent quality. I thought all their colours would be of this quality. I got a black one and it never dries fully, even after days and weeks. It easily smudges and has left me with a lot of pointless wastage for my work. This is quite pricey for water based ink that is supposed to be considered good quality. I won't risk buying another colour again. Really disappointing and lacks consistency as a brand. Avoid!

I love the color and how quickly it dries. This is definitely the best value for the money, I know the tubes come with a little less so I think this is absolutely worth it. I really enjoy the texture of this ink, it’s soft and thick and exactly the way I like it!! Very practical and easy to use, I would highly recommend it for beginners or advanced print makers! ## Frequently Bought Together - Speedball 3800 Water Soluble Block Printing Ink – Bold Color With Satin Finish Ap Non- Toxic 8 Fl. oz., Black - 4-Inch Rubber Brayer Roller for Printmaking, Great for Gluing Application Also.
