Your videos are fantastic! As a complete newbie to relief printing, I really appreciate your clear and concise instructions - you are a great teacher! :-)
Thank you so much; I loved your demonstration. I have been printing with Aqua Permaset on fabric just using a piece of sponge with black super cover ink (it is quite thick, but leaves a super dark black print) and I have gotten very good results, but like you said, the sponge does absorb a great deal of paint and I end up wasting paint. Thank you for the tip on the textile roller.
Thanks for sharing your videos! This was the first that popped up, so I'm going to have to backtrack. I actually got all my materials back in March, carved a bunch of stuff, etc but just now, tonight, been able to do any printing. Better late than, hm? Enjoy your weekend!
I'm collecting information re painting, like with paint brushes, on fabric. Is there any one product/ink that would be better for this purpose? This was an excellent presentation, thank you
I am stuck in a problem while block printing on fabric and in need for your advice. My prints were very light on fabric. It is because of ink dry very fast or because of my hard rubber brayer. Any suggestion about how to increase drying time of ink also, could soft rubber brayer can solve this problem? I am using water based ink (black pigments,binder and thickner). Speedball inks and brayer are not available here. I have to import them. Which is costly. And i am not sure that they will solve my problem. Thanks
Pigments and binder are not ideal for block printing - they tend to print lighter than pre-mixed screen printing inks. I would try to add more pigment to try and make it darker if you can. It also sounds like you need more ink. It is very hard using a hard roller as they don't pick up screen printing inks well. A textile roller will be much better. A soft rubber roller may help a little bit. Make sure you are printing on a padded surface as this will help too
@@Handprinteduk Thanks a lot. A textile roller will work for me, i guess. A bit hard to find. Anyways thanks again for quick response, you are really an expert.
I was using a rubber roller and my prints were coming out a bit transparent. I switched to a dense foam roller (textile) and it works better. One thing to keep in mind is the inks…. I was using SB water based screen printing ink and for some reason I was getting very blotchy prints… the pigment was almost ‘snotty’ in texture. I tried diluting it, mixing it better, etc. turns out I had a bad batch of speedball ink. So frustrating. Anyway, don’t give up (I almost did) and just keep at it. P.s. you can also look at Molly Mahon’s block printing book on Amazon and she has a few videos up also. She uses a stamp ‘pad’ she makes with a few sheets of wool. I haven’t tried that yet.
@@amcenroe8206 We agree, the textile rollers make all the difference! Sorry you had a bad batch of ink - how frustrating! We love Molly Mahon! We also love that felt pad technique. We actually wrote a blog post on it way back in 2014! You can read it here: handprinted.co.uk/blogs/blog/block-printing-onto-fabric-with-permaset-aqua-and-speedycarve-1?_pos=1&_sid=ff3f93142&_ss=r

Sounds great!
Good instruction - thank you Holly.
Really useful and clear guide, thankyou
Happy to help!
Thank you for a wonderful video!
This was an excellent demonstration thank you
Thank you!
Are there inks you could use on fabric that is darker that would still feel soft once set and washed? Your videos are fab, thanks so much! :)
love your voice

❤so helpful

very nice thanks
Will these inks work with wood blocks?
How do you go about washing the textile roller?
Hello, I have a few questions, how long do we have iron it for it to be washable. How many washes before it fades away?
Can I use lino cut ink from speedball (water based) and still heat set it? Would it work?
Heya! Does the print hold up after multiple washes or does it fade? And do you have to wash them by hand all the time? Thank you in advance!
Yes, if you heat set it's washable. 30' washes are best to keep it looking good
