Speedball Fabric Screen Printing Ink — Process Yellow, 237 ml, Water-Based Washable Soft-Hand

Speedball 8 fl. oz. Fabric Screen Printing Ink in Process Yellow is a water-based textile ink that delivers vibrant, washable colour with a soft hand once heat set.

This ready-to-use Process Yellow from Speedball is part of a 25-colour fabric ink line designed for screen printing on cotton, polyester, blends and many other textiles, plus paper and cardboard. Non-flammable and low-odour, the formula cleans up with soap and water and is formulated to give consistent coverage, smooth printability and a soft feel after curing. Use it for single-colour or multi-colour runs, hand-printed editions, DIY apparel, home décor and craft applications.

How will Process Yellow perform on different fabrics?

Process Yellow lays down bright, even colour across natural and synthetic fabrics, giving especially strong results on lighter materials. Coverage is designed to be consistent so you can achieve reliable prints with minimal adjustments. It is not recommended for nonporous textiles like nylon.

• Works on cotton, polyester, blends, linen and rayon
• Also suitable for paper and cardboard projects
• Avoid nonporous fabrics (e.g., nylon) for best results

What printing and curing steps are required for durable results?

Print Speedball fabric ink with standard screen-printing techniques and allow prints to dry before heat setting. Proper heat curing is necessary to make the ink permanent and achieve the soft-hand finish. Cleanup is simple with soap and water while ink is wet.

• Print using typical screen printing screens and squeegees
• Let prints air dry briefly, then heat set per fabric type
• Clean screens and tools with soap and water before drying

How does this ink behave in multi-colour or specialty workflows?

Because Process Yellow is formulated for consistent opacity and flow, it layers well for multi-colour work and blends smoothly with other Speedball process colours. It can be mixed to create tints and custom shades, and works alongside fluorescent or glow-in-the-dark colours in the Speedball palette.

• Compatible with other Speedball fabric colours for separations
• Mixable for tints; test small batches for predictable results
• Use with underbases or mesh adjustments for high-opacity needs

Is this safe to use in a home studio?

Yes — the ink is non-flammable and formulated without strong solvents or offensive smells, making it well suited for hobbyists and small studios. Standard ventilation and safe handling practices are still recommended when screen printing indoors.

• Low-odour, water-based formula for easier indoor use
• Soap-and-water cleanup reduces chemical exposure
• Follow typical studio safety and curing instructions
