When to choose it

Choose this set when color choice matters more than having a large supply of one color. The six small tubes let you compare a motif on light and dark scraps or work through separate color blocks. If the whole edition uses black, the larger single tube gives more of that one color.

These are water-miscible oil-based fabric inks. Speedball also lists paper as a suitable surface. For a textile project, read the instructions for drying and washing and try the intended fabric first, particularly if you need to match an existing color.

Questions about this product

Is this a better choice than buying one larger black tube?

Choose the set when you want several colors. For a black-only print run, compare the amount of black you receive in each option.

How do I check contrast on a darker fabric?

Pull a small proof on a scrap of the actual fabric and judge it after drying. The fabric color affects the way the motif reads.

Can I use the same formulation for a paper proof?

Speedball lists paper as a suitable surface. For a fabric project, also proof the actual fabric because its texture will affect transfer.
