Essdee block printing ink 300 ml

Ink for your own print run

Essdee block printing ink is a water-based ink for printing with a roller and a relief block. The 300 ml tube provides a supply for returning to the same colour across projects. Choose one variant; the roller, block and paper are not included with this tube.

Choosing colour and effect

The 30 options comprise 15 regular colours, three metallics, six fluorescents and six pearlescents. Choose regular colours for a basic palette or effect colours for accents. Proof an effect colour on both light and dark paper, then assess it dry under your usual lighting.

A repeatable proof-print study

Roll a small amount into a thin, even film on your inking plate and transfer it to the raised parts of the block. Make three proofs using the same paper and pressure. Change only the ink loading on the roller and compare fine lines, solid areas and filled-in recesses. Keep the best proof with the colour code and your method for the next print run.

Workspace and clearing up

Lay wet prints apart so that they do not touch. Protect the workspace, avoid eye contact and wash hands after use. Close the tube after use. Follow the label when cleaning tools and disposing of residues.

Paper printing and material choice

This printing ink is intended for paper and card and is non-permanent. Use it with lino, SoftCut, MasterCut or Printfoam. Fluorescent and pearlescent colours are effects within this range, not fabric inks. For washable fabric printing, choose a dedicated fabric printing ink. You receive one 300 ml tube in the selected colour.
