Speedball Fabric & Acrylic Transparent Base 236ml

Mix with Speedball fabric or acrylic screen printing inks to make lighter, more transparent colours.

Speedball has supplied artists, schools and printmakers from its home in Statesville, North Carolina for more than a century, and is one of the best-known names in relief printing, screen printing and lettering. Its screen printing range has helped countless artists, schools and small businesses print at home and in the studio. These bases and additives help you fine-tune its water-based inks.

Transparent Base and Extender Base lighten colours and make them more transparent for layered prints and overprinting, while also stretching your ink further. Retarder Base slows drying so ink stays open in the mesh during longer runs or in warm conditions. Puff Ink Modifier mixes into fabric ink to create raised prints when heat is applied, and Acrylic Gloss Overprint Varnish can be screened over finished paper prints for a glossy, protective finish.

Sizes run from 118ml to 3.78 litres to suit both home printers and studios.
