Clogged and ruined screen within minutes
I tried to use this for screen printing, but it clogged and ruined my screen within minutes, even misting the screen from time to time and working as quickly as I could to keep the ink flowing. I’m on a deadline and I’m terribly disappointed that the screen has to be reclaimed. This is more than a waste of money- it’s a waste of time. I’m sure this product would be fine for hand painting fabric with an artist brush, single screen print runs or possibly even re-caulking tile but it’s too thick and quick drying for screen printing purposes generating more than a couple of T-shirts or products before clogging the screen mesh. The picture is my yellow and green sponge with glue-like residue from this product.

Bien y mal
La pintura es buena tiene buena textura algo que noto es como que se endurece rápido en el marco de serigrafía y que el envase viene por la mitad buena calidad pero la cantidad de pintura que trae es la mitad del envase

White is hard for me but this stuff is great!
I recently started a Screenprinting hobby/obsession and when I found this ink I figured for the price and the amount you get I'd give it a try. In my journey I've found that most of the black ink I've tried is similar in quality and ease of use but white can be very finicky across the myriad of brands and styles available. I found this white to be the easiest to use of all the brands I've tried so far. The amount you get for the price is a good value. I did have to stir a good bit using a paint stirrer because the wood popsicle stick I was using just wasn't up to the task of reaching the bottom of this tub, I did say you get a lot of ink. Once I had everything emulsified I tested this out on some scrap shirts I have for just this purpose. This spread nicely and didn't gum up on the squeegee or cause it to stick on the shirt and pull it around on the table. As I said I'm new to screen printing and have a tendency to be heavy handed, I need to learn a lighter touch. This ink was easy to reach opacity with 2 strokes one each up and back. I let my test shirts dry overnight and heat set them in the morning using a hand held heat press set to 320 degrees for 40 seconds. I found the ink bonded (is that he correct word?) well with the fabric and it didn't sit on top and have a plasticky feel like other brands I have tried. I then washed the test shirts in cold water and tumbled them dry on medium heat (the temp I usually use) several times throughout that day with no signs of flaking or separation. Okay, so now the big test, I made several shirts for my family with their requested designs on them and let them go to town wearing, washing and abusing them. I can report that after a month of use everyone has reported back good results, no one gave me the follow up pics I asked for but if I ever get them I will add them to the review. Also of note it was easy to clean out of the screen in my kitchen sink just using the Brillo Basics dish spray I got at the Dollar Tree. Overall this ink is great, user friendly, lasts through regular use, feels nice on the cotton fabric shirts I put it on and has a very economical price. Don't hesitate to give this a try!

Dries and doesn't remove
I used this product on a110 mesh screen and was unable to remove the ink from the screen after printing. I used every method to remove the ink but nothing worked. It destroyed my new screen I just had made. It was an expensive failure for my orders. Very disappointed.

Practically unusable!
I know that water-based inks dry out fast in general, so I'm already very careful to minimize the time that ink is in contact with my screens and tools. I work quickly and clean up immediately, and so I've never had problems getting water-based ink to wash out... Until now! I did a very quick test print with this ink, maybe fifteen minutes the ink was exposed to the air. In that short time it already dried into a gummy, crusty mess, which refused to wash off my screen, squeegee, even my palette knife - despite heavy scrubbing and blasting everything with water. I do have a thinner that I could try mixing with this ink to try and extend its impossibly short working time, but after it already ruined one of my screens and several of my tools, I don't think I will ever take the chance of opening up this bucket of doom again. If it can't be returned, it will go straight in the trash. What a waste.

It dries very quickly.
It was a disappointment at the time of opening it, it’s almost in the middle, the product is fine, but I feel cheated by the lack of this product for coming just the half

Good Opaque Screen Printing Ink
This large jar of screen printing ink arrived shrink-wrapped, and had a factory sealed lid to prevent leakage in transit. Once opened, the jar was only half filled with ink - but it did contain the advertised 32oz of ink. (see photo). I did some quick faux silk screening on navy felt to test this product. I was quite happy with the level of opaqueness this white ink had against the very dark fabric. This ink is thick, but it was well mixed in the container and needed little stirring by me. Considering 32oz of name brand ink costs $32, I feel this is a great value. 5 Stars

Half full tub. Sticky, useless mess. Worst ink I've ever tried to use.
This started off rough and just got worse. Customer service replied back quickly, but without ever answering my question... When I finally gave up on them and opened the 32 oz tub it was only 1/2 full. It sat in there like latex paint. Even after being thoroughly stirred, you couldn't put it on a pallet knife, it ran right off. I attempted to run a test print...who knows, maybe it worked better than it looked. I couldn't even keep it on the screen. It ran, pooled, dripped. AWFUL!!!!! STICKY MESS!!! You could see through it when it dried on the fabric. Worst waste of 30 bucks and several hours effort for nothing. I can't even imagine selling this.
