Guest Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'd guess at normal rubberised ink, but its a pain the ass to use unless you have the proper equipment to dry it and clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) Rubberised ink needs to be heat cured (An iron does work, but takes ages and its easy to mess up/ using a hair dryer works just about and takes even longer than an iron) And yeap it sticks to everything and is a bastard to clean off. It does give a lovely raised surface and if you do it well its worth the mess if you don't have to clean up. Printing with oils is just as much fun . Acrylic paint has no movement when dry and will just crack although it is loads easier to handle its not stretchy there is a vehicle you can get to add to acrylic to make it better for use of clothing but its still not all that super.
