Favorite Products
Speedball Professional Relief Inks, particularly Supergraphic Black. This ink is the best Black ink, it packs solid onto paper, and does not dry out quickly on the block which makes printing easier. I also love using the Soft Rubber rollers, especially the 6 inch roller as it transfers ink wonderfully.
