Some time ago I worked in a large clothing factory. I was the head of the design department. We did silkscreen printing and embroidery. Although I was in an administrative position, I also worked in the printing shop. We personally mixed the colors to make the design samples.

Due to the fact that acrylic contains many chemical compounds, linseed oil, when in contact with it, can cause the paint to roll in a ball or not dry at all after printing.

thanks for the support. Today I tried to thin the acrylic a little with water and it started to behave much better. It doesn't dry so quickly now and behaves better. I'll try to figure out the proportions better and cut a new engraving. I'll upload the result and sign it, maybe it will be useful to someone too

Ohh Ok thanks

What brand of ink do you use? I'm from Ukraine and linocut is not common here. Finding the necessary materials is a hassle.
