- This video looks at the Speedball Professional series Oil-Based Water-Miscible Super Graphic Black Ink. I wanted to see what the comparison was to Speedball's Water-Based block printing inks, which I regularly work with. Comment below with your thoughts on this video, this ink, or any suggestions for future videos.

Thanks for doing this comparison. Really helpful.
this was very informative... thank you so much. Love your picture, it made me smile. thanks for that. Have a great time and walk steady. These are interesting times.
Hi can you give any recommendations when this ink gets plasticky and has trouble adhering to the roller and having any fluidity? ie, is drying out
I've not had this ink dry out before, but likely because we go through it. I know speedball will say to add water to thin it out, or add a transparent base ink to manipulate the opacity. I would recommend one of those options as a first try.
@@RhinodilloDesignsThanks for taking the time to reply. I have tried water room temp but still gets placticky. I was wondering if you used on oil bases but I assume that you do not based on your response. Thanks again and keep up your work it is lovely.
Thank you so much for this video !!! This was sooooo helpful! Have you ever worked with akua inks? Im trying to figure out if that or the super graphic ink would be the best move more me. I enjoy the matte look but I would like a little bit longer of a work time then the speedball water based ink
Thanks you

Glad I could be of help! I've not worked with Akua, but have plenty of friends who do love using them. I like the work time and dry time of this ink, personally.
Your video shows you using a really neat table top press. Can you tell me what make it is? Thanks.
I think it's a Paragon press, but not 100% sure. I got it secondhand. What I do know is it's very similar to the Paragon tabletop etching press and the Blick baby press. Hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing this! I’m illustrating a run of hand bound books with this method and I’m leaning towards using this oil based ink- after it’s dried for a few days, would you say the result is more permanent? I’m afraid the prints in the book will transfer to other pages? Thanks again!
I don't believe it would transfer. If it is dried completely, there shouldn't be an issue, as it dries to a matte finish. I would recommend doing a quick test print and layer it with other paper as you would a book, and place some pressure on it. See if it binds or not. When I've stored prints in stacks after drying, I've not had a binding issue.
Rhinodillo Designs thanks so much for your reply! That’s super helpful
I am so glad I found this video as I was torn between which ink to go with. If you’re doing a larger print run, how often do you need to clean your block and brayer when using the water-based ink?
I typically don't do editions larger than 50 or so. As far as the ink performance, the oil based would have a significantly longer working time, but also needs a longer drying time. Waterbased depends largely on humidity and how quickly you are working, as a steady flow of fresh ink on the block and brayer would keep longer than having large breaks between pulls. Hope that helps.
