When to choose it

Choose this set for paper relief prints that need more than a primary palette. Red, blue and yellow are joined by black, white and gold. For example, use white when testing a paler mix and keep gold separate if you want an accent in a second pass.

Each tube holds 1.25 fluid ounces. That is useful for trying several designs or colors, while a single larger tube suits a long run in one color. Speedball separates these water-soluble paper inks from its fabric range for items that will be washed.

Questions about this product

What does this add over the four-color paper set?

It adds white and gold. Choose it when a tint or gold accent serves the print you are planning.

Can I buy it for a fabric item I intend to wash?

Use a textile formulation matched to the fabric and its washing instructions. Speedball describes this set for paper.

How do I plan a print with a separate gold accent?

Use separate inking space for the accent and make a registration proof if it uses its own block or pass.
