Falling in Art Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink, 6-Color Printmaking Ink Set for Linoleum Block, 3.5 floz

Purchased this for a printmaking class. When I first opened it I was worried because the ink looked thicker than I was used to. I asked the instructor and she said it should work fine. She was right. We did linocut, acrylic etchings, gelatin prints and a few other things. All were successful. In fact several other students from the class asked to borrow my ink because they noticed better results with it. My instructor even made a note to recommend this ink to future students because of it's good value and good results. I noticed several other reviews commented that it was difficult to dry. I can understand that criticism because it is thicker than other ink I have used before. It would take longer to dry. But the results are beautiful. If you don't need it to dry quickly this is not a problem. Would highly recommend! Already bought another batch.

This ink seemed okay upon first using it. However, it quickly became apparent after the first few days that it simply was not drying. I waited to see if it would start to dry in the sun, and gave it a couple weeks for that. At this point, most areas were still tacky, and some straight up were still wet. I can confidently say that after 5 months, we got to a place where the ink was not transferring to other objects if they touched, but a few places were still tacky. And lo and behold, after I have now glued the prints I made down to a backing after all of that time, everywhere the glue has even slightly touched on the back side of the print made the ink wet again on the front side. I bought these to save some money for a project, and I 110 percent should have just purchased a higher quality ink to do my project with to save a massive amount of time and headaches.

Perfect for a children’s example: roll out color, press paper to imprint. Stop printing and Immediately go wash everything because it is now to dry to use any further. Largest successful imprint on mulberry Rice paper: one 3inch by 5inch imprint. You cannot move fast enough to do two.At the rate of waste due to uncontrollable fast drying it turns out to be (predicted) three times the cost of high end oil-based professional ink.What a scam! What a waste.

Muy buenas, un poco secas pero como son solubles lo podré solucionar con agua

Used for linocut.

This ink is not good. I tried to mix, whip, spread the ink on the ink plate and it was still full of lumps, tacky, and did not roll evenly using the brayers. I would never purchase this product again and do not recommend.

I made block prints with this ink, and even though I use the thinnest layer possible, the ink on the final print doesn’t dry, it remains sticky and even after days of hanging the smallest bit of moisture makes the ink viable again. No instructions included on if curing is needed or heat treatment. This is good for crafts and kids but not professional artists who are trying to sell quality handmade prints

I LOVED the colors of these. Super rich and pigmented, a little sticky though for certain paper. But then after weeks they still weren’t dry which makes my print unable to be sold and shipped.
