When to choose it
Choose the 5-fluid-ounce maker size when you expect to roll out black repeatedly for a textile edition. It holds about twice the amount of the 2.5-ounce tube. The amount used will vary with the inked area, fabric and rollout, so make a proof before estimating the rest of the run.
This water-washable oil-based ink is intended for suitable fabrics. The maker lists air drying without heat setting. Budget the wash waiting time and check the fabric label. Nylon is outside the maker's listed uses.

Questions about this product
What can I use to estimate ink for an edition?
Proof with your actual block and fabric. The inked area and how often you reload make a large difference in use.
When would the smaller tube make more sense?
Choose 2.5 fluid ounces for a short trial or when you are still comparing colors. Choose the larger size when you already expect to use more black.
How should I plan before washing a printed item?
Follow the current label. Speedball calls for air drying and recommends waiting one week before washing a textile print.
