Speedball Fabric Screen Printing Ink, 8-Ounce, White for T-Shirt and Silkscreen Printmaking

Q: Is this ink consider plastisol or water based?

This ink is water-based. Very easy to use in a paint-on-fabric application, which is how I use it.

Q: Does it have to be heat set? If yes, do you have a fabric ink that does not have to be heat set?

This is from Speedball's website and is their "Instructions" on Heat Setting: "When printing on fabric, first make sure you are printing with inks made for fabric printing. Other water-based inks will just wash right out when put through the laundry. After printing on fabric your ink will dry, but you still need to “cure” your ink to the fabric, also known as heat setting. Speedball water-based fabric inks can be cured by using a household iron. Check your iron settings compared to the fabric you printed on. Use only fabrics that can be subjected to temperatures of at least 275°-375° F. Do not use nonporous fabrics such as nylon. Place a piece of paper (simple copy paper is best) over top of your printed design and cure with a hot iron for 1-2 minutes." https://www.speedballart.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-Screen-Printing-Instructional-Booklet.pdf

Q: must this paint be mixed with any medium or can i use straight out the jar?

It does not have to be mixed with any mediums unless you want to extend the paint or make it more transparent.

Q: I want to paint stripes on cotton fabric for table runners and am wondering if it will bleed? I will be taping off the fabric and dont want bleeding.

I would use contact paper if you do not want the lines to bleed. I use contact paper for stencils and the are crisp and sharp.
