They're relatively easy to use, just use a popsicle stick to stir before use. If you work in education and are looking for an alternative to using oil based without losing the quality. Hope this helps! **Q: is it possible to thin this ink with other mediums to use in screenprinting?** A: We do not recommend trying to screenprint these inks. **Q: Can you use this ink with fabrics?** A: No it's not for wash and go heat setting doesn't work for Akua inks **Q: Will this ink work for woodcut?** A: YES. That is the primary function of this set. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***. on 11 May 2025* Blick has quality products. I was on an art project deadline.
