Speedball’s heritage in printmaking began over 75 years ago by pioneering the manufacturing of water-based inks.
Since that time, Speedball has become a true one-stop-shop for all things block printing, offering the broadest range of inks, surfaces, tools & accessories and block printing kits available on the market today.
Made from high-quality pigments, Speedball’s Oil-Based Block Printing Inks are formulated to be permanent, waterproof and archival. Available in 10 rich colors, Speedball Oil-Based Inks can be used for printing on paper with any traditional printmaking surface. The line also recently had a fresh new design, featuring fabulous work from Reinaldo Gil Zambrano. All colors carry the AP Seal, and clean up with vegetable oil.
