## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on fabric?  And is it washable?**
A: Yes! Water soluble means its water-based rather than oil-based. It cleans up much easier than oil-based inks. When using on fabrics, it is best to heat-set it aftereards, using a blow dryer or clothes dryer

**Q: What colors are included?**
A: R. Hammer,I believe the colors include: red, blue, yellow, green, white and black.

**Q: How many ounces are the tubes of ink?**
A: Thank you for your inquiry. Each tube is 1.25 ounces.

**Q: Can it be diluted with water to use in an airbrush?**
A: I wouldn't.  The consistency is designed for use as a paste. I am sure there are ingredients that would gum up an airbrush.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small projects
*by S***9 on March 6, 2024*

This was a nice set but was pretty small. Wouldn’t recommend for a class or large group but works well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rich colors
*by D***. on March 9, 2014*

the ink quality is very nice. it spreads well and and the clean up does not require anything special. the smell is not strong or acrid. the colors are nice and bright. the gold does dry faster than the others but that tends to happen with all metallic paints or inks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good ink for block printing - nice selection for a starter pack
*by A***T on November 29, 2017*

A good starter set for block printing - I had been using leftover screen printing ink, and wondered what the difference was - this proper block printing ink drys a lot slower, allowing you to squeeze just what you need onto your glass for each pull and keeping the brayer from clogging or drying out too quickly. When I decide what colors I want my prints to be, I will buy larger tubes of each.
