How does this ink perform during printing sessions?

The ink is engineered for stable rheology and extended open time, which reduces drying on the screen and supports multi-pass projects. It deposits evenly for consistent coverage and preserves colour vibrancy even when blended or reduced slightly for transparency effects.

• Long open time to minimize premature drying on screens
• Even coverage for one-pass opacity on many surfaces
• Compatible with standard mesh counts used for paper and board
• Easy cleanup with soap and water—no solvents required

What surfaces and uses are best for Speedball acrylic screen ink?

This orange acrylic ink is optimised for porous substrates such as paper, wood, and cardboard, producing bright, archival-looking prints. It is ideal for posters, packaging mock-ups, wood signs, and fine-art prints where colour saturation and surface adhesion matter.

• Paper and poster board for bold graphic prints
• Wood panels and signage with strong adhesion
• Cardboard and mock-up packaging with even laydown
• Studio print runs, classroom projects, and craft workshops

How should I store and maintain Speedball acrylic screen printing ink?

Store the 32 fl. oz. bottle sealed and upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve consistency and colour integrity. Stir thoroughly before use and recap immediately after dispensing to prevent skinning on the surface.

• Keep sealed and upright to avoid spills and skin formation
• Room temperature storage prolongs usable life
• Stir before use for consistent pigment distribution
• Clean screens with warm water and mild detergent while ink is wet

Can I mix or modify this orange ink for different effects?

Yes—Speedball acrylic screen inks mix well with other colours from the same line to create custom shades, and they can be reduced slightly for glaze or wash effects. Avoid adding solvent-based thinners; instead, use small amounts of matching acrylic medium or extender recommended for screen use.

• Mix with other Speedball colours for custom hues
• Use acrylic extenders for translucency, not solvents
• Test blends on scrap material before full runs
• Maintain consistent mixing ratios for repeatable results
