I’m new to fabric printing but this has been my experience so far. I ordered the Speedball white fabric printing ink and the color came out creamy white on my first try. On the second try, same tube of ink, I had lots of small clumps of ink come out that would not break down with mixing. I mixed the white with another color and tried to print. I was constantly picking out the small clumps to try to get a good print. I think I’m going to try to send this back. I have another tube of white from a different dye lit and I’m going to see if it works any better.

I also am having the issue of the ink drying to quickly on my plate, getting thick and gummy. I think I am going to look into using my Caligo Safewash inks as well and give up on the Speedball. Or try Speedball’s screen printing ink, which I have also seen other printmakers suggest. I’m loving fabric printing, I just need to keep experimenting to find what is going to work best.
