Review: Perfect for printing on paper!
Review: I’ve been using Speedball Ink for shirts for about five years now, and it's become my go-to choice since I can no longer find it at Hobby Lobby. Thankfully, I found it on desertcart, and I actually prefer purchasing it here because it's more affordable than what I used to pay in-store. This ink is fantastic! I’ve printed designs on shirts that I've had for several years, and the ink has never come off, even after multiple washes. While there may be a slight fade over time, it still looks vibrant and sharp, which is impressive. One of the best features is that it’s water-based, making cleanup a breeze. If I spill any, I can quickly wipe it up, and I don’t have to worry about it staining my sink or workspace. That said, depending on the garment you choose, there can be some bleeding. I primarily use Gildan and Comfort Colors, and I’ve never noticed any bleeding with those brands. However, with cheaper materials or brands like Bella+Canvas, I have seen slight bleeding through to the other side. But it’s minimal and doesn’t affect the overall look of the shirt. Overall, Speedball Ink is a great product, and I’ll continue using it for all of my screen printing projects. Plus, they offer multiple colors that work just as well! When it comes to durability, it’s pretty great. I have never notice that it fades except slightly over many many washes in many years of wear, and it’s really not something you can tell. I can only tell because I usually pay attention to detail. It has a lot of thickness which is great but it’s not so much that you could feel it on the shirt so it looks very natural on the shirt and doesn’t look like any kind of transparency.
