Speedball Fabric Screen Printing Ink, 8-Ounce, Black for T-Shirt and Silkscreen Printmaking

I bought this ink to use with freezer paper stencils cut with my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine. I used it to make a shirt for my son's first birthday, white on navy blue. The white stayed bright and strong with only one coat! Very happy with the consistency and appearance of this ink on my dark shirt! I used a sponge brush to apply the ink with the stencil. Sometimes it felt like I was using a lot of ink, but it was likely because the sponge soaked it all up. Plus, I wanted the white to be good and heavy, so I didn't skimp.I should mention that I also purchased the black ink and it was actually the first of the two that I used. I'm pretty sure I read reviews that said to use gloves, but I forgot. The seal under the lid was very hard to get off, even with the tab that was there for that purpose. My thumb and fingers ended up covered in the ink after wrestling the seal off the container. Because it was black, it was easy to see the ink everywhere it ended up, on my body and work surfaces. I also wasn't as pleased with my final result with the black ink project I did but it was almost surely my fault because I was afraid to use too much so I probably didn't apply a heavy enough coat. I also used a cheap boys white undershirt that stretched a bunch and cracked the design before I could heat set it. I used gloves with the white ink and the seal on the white ink container came off with the tab the way it was supposed to.My experience was great! But it left me curious. I've done screen printing a few times (took a class in college for my graphic design curriculum) and I feel like using a screen vs the freezer paper would be a more economical use of this ink. It worked great for this project and probably for others I will do in the future, but it left me aching for the screen printing method and experience. In fact, I've looked at the screens and other products available through Speedball and I might be persuaded to shift my focus to using screens instead of freezer paper.

the best paint for clothing, thickness is consistent, value is great, a little goes a long way for the projects i'm doing. thanks.

My first time ever stamping fabric, and I think this was the perfect choice of ink! I heat set it with my clothing iron for five minutes, (intermediately taking it off the fabric for a few seconds at a time in those five minutes) then washed it in cold water, and it held up great! Showed up vibrantly in different colors on colored fabric, and applied well. (P.s this picture was taken shortly after stamping the fabric, but it still looks the same after multiple washes)

I make patches for crust pants n stuff and this stuff works real well. takes a few times to really learn how to work with it so you don't flood your stencils but when you use it right that inks not going anywhere. lil warning for any other punks using this, you cannot freehand with this, its way too thick and hard to manipulate u gotta use a stencil.
