Speedball Acrylic Screen Printing Ink, 32-ounce in white, is a professional-quality, water-cleanable ink formulated for rich, durable prints on paper, wood and cardboard.

Designed for artists, crafters and small print studios, this 32 oz white acrylic screen printing ink from Speedball delivers long open time and consistent coverage. It’s non-flammable, solvent-free, and cleans up easily with soap and water, making it convenient for studio and classroom use. The formulation is part of a broad 30-colour range that includes fluorescents and glow-in-the-dark options, giving creative flexibility across projects.

How does this ink perform during screen printing sessions?

Speedball’s acrylic ink is engineered for extended open time, so screens remain workable longer without premature drying. The pigment load yields opaque, even layers of white that print well over dark or coloured bases when properly flashed or layered.

• Excellent open time to reduce clogging during longer runs
• High pigment density for strong opacity on various substrates
• Flows smoothly through standard mesh counts used for paper and board
• No solvents—resists skin drying and studio fumes

What materials and projects is this white ink best suited for?

This white acrylic formula is intended for porous surfaces such as paper, wood and cardboard. It’s ideal for posters, limited-run prints, packaging prototypes, signage and mixed-media works where acrylic adhesion and vibrancy are required.

• Paper prints: posters, zines, art prints
• Wood crafts: signs, panels, templates
• Cardboard: packaging mockups and prototypes
• Mixed-media: layers with other acrylics and mediums

How do I use and clean up Speedball acrylic screen printing ink?

Apply using conventional screen-printing techniques: prepare screens and meshes appropriate to your design, use a squeegee to deposit ink, and allow prints to dry or flash between layers. Cleanup requires only soap and warm water if the ink is still wet; cured ink requires mechanical removal or specialized cleaners.

• Use standard screen-printing equipment and mesh counts
• Flash between layers for opaque whites over dark backgrounds
• Clean wet ink with soap and warm water for fast maintenance
• Store tightly capped to preserve open time and prevent skinning

What safety and handling details should I know?

Speedball acrylics are non-flammable and contain no solvents, lowering site risks compared with solvent-based alternatives. Still, follow basic workshop safety: ventilate the area, avoid ingestion, and wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.

• Non-flammable, solvent-free formulation
• Wash hands and tools promptly after use
• Keep containers sealed when not in use to maintain consistency
• Store away from extreme heat and direct sunlight
