Essdee Fabric Block Printing Inks are specially formulated to make lino printing onto fabric a fun and simple activity that anyone can enjoy. These highly viscous inks will leave you with a bold and vivid print that is soft to the touch and long-lasting after being heat-set. The inks are water-based, so they are easy to use and clean up with just soap and water.

To create your own unique print, first carve your design using Lino printing tools and materials, then apply the ink to your carved printing block using an ink roller. Essdee MasterCut carving blocks and the Essdee Fabric Printing Roller are ideal. Place your inked block face down onto your fabric and apply pressure to transfer the ink. Following printing, the ink should be heat-set by ironing the reverse of your print (on a non-steam setting) for four minutes, moving the iron over the whole of your design. The printed fabrics are washable up to 40°C. For the best results, 100% cotton fabric is recommended as more textured fabrics can produce varied results.
