Falling in Art Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink, 6-Color Printmaking Ink Set for Linoleum Block, 3.5 floz

Purchased this for a printmaking class. When I first opened it I was worried because the ink looked thicker than I was used to. I asked the instructor and she said it should work fine. She was right. We did linocut, acrylic etchings, gelatin prints and a few other things. All were successful. In fact several other students from the class asked to borrow my ink because they noticed better results with it. My instructor even made a note to recommend this ink to future students because of it's good value and good results. I noticed several other reviews commented that it was difficult to dry. I can understand that criticism because it is thicker than other ink I have used before. It would take longer to dry. But the results are beautiful. If you don't need it to dry quickly this is not a problem. Would highly recommend! Already bought another batch.

This ink seemed okay upon first using it. However, it quickly became apparent after the first few days that it simply was not drying. I waited to see if it would start to dry in the sun, and gave it a couple weeks for that. At this point, most areas were still tacky, and some straight up were still wet. I can confidently say that after 5 months, we got to a place where the ink was not transferring to other objects if they touched, but a few places were still tacky. And lo and behold, after I have now glued the prints I made down to a backing after all of that time, everywhere the glue has even slightly touched on the back side of the print made the ink wet again on the front side. I bought these to save some money for a project, and I 110 percent should have just purchased a higher quality ink to do my project with to save a massive amount of time and headaches.

Very dry and had trouble getting a good print

Used for linocut.

Muy buenas, un poco secas pero como son solubles lo podré solucionar con agua

It is much stickier than other inks I have used. It was hard to scrape out of the container. Will not buy this brand again.

The ink became globby and never fully dried. There is also shine not needed for block prints.

This ink is not good. I tried to mix, whip, spread the ink on the ink plate and it was still full of lumps, tacky, and did not roll evenly using the brayers. I would never purchase this product again and do not recommend.
