Review on 🎨 Speedball Art Products Block Printing Ink, 1.25-Ounce - Fabric and Paper - Pack of 6 by Carol Miller

I would like to give 3 1/2 stars. It's better than average, but I had some issues, especially with the metallic colors. In the fabric print I did on black it looked nice when finished but sadly faded when I washed the shirt. All in all, I've found I haven't had to make any ink adjustments or anything and they remain fine. I was very disappointed when this happened. I'm trying to find more information on why this happened. Metallic colors worked well on white and still look good after washing, so I'm wondering if this is related to the age of the ink. It's not THAT old but maybe it has (or should) have an expiration date? I also noticed that the inks didn't smell too bad when new - non-metallic inks - but now that I'm printing with them the smell takes a lot longer to dissipate. (Metallic paints have always stank more than non-metallic ones.) I don't know of any other fabric inks like this speedball ink, but I'll investigate that next.
