Printing Ink Set of 6

Explore the art of block printing with the Fine Art Studio Printing Ink - Set of 6, a professional-grade, non-toxic and water-soluble ink ideal for both educational and studio use. Perfect for lino, wood, and polystyrene block printing, as well as for stencil and screen printing techniques, this set provides rich, intermixable colours that offer uniform coverage, excellent definition, and a smooth application. The ink's long open time allows for careful detail and layering, making it ideal for classroom demonstrations or student projects. It can be used on paper, card, and non-permanent fabric, with the best results achieved on acid-free or watercolour paper. Each tube is formulated to produce bright, lightfast prints that maintain their vibrancy, and can be easily thinned with water if needed. Whether you're layering for complex designs or creating bold single-colour prints, this ink delivers professional results in an easy-to-clean, safe formulation. The ink can be applied straight from the tube, and equipment washes clean with soap and water. Suitable for school environments, it meets international health and safety standards through independent lab testing, giving educators peace of mind. The set includes six essential colours: Black, Yellow, Blue, White, Red, and Green.
