Awesome inks but don't last long.
This ink is fantastic, my only complaint is that it's so expensive and doesn't last very long if you make a lot of prints like I do. I've tried the cheaper inks on Amazon and they were horrible. I gotta say these are vastly superior inks that give a truly beautiful result. I block print and rubber stamp print on paper and fabric and these work very well. I also use the speedball metallics which are amazing mixed with these to make shimmery colors. I also mix them a lot and layer them to make different effects and it comes out great. It just takes a bit of experimentation! The photo shows The result of one such experiment.
