Transparent Extender Base Block Printing Medium size:8 oz. Solid North American red oakOpacity control without sacrificing ink body, that's what makes this extender essential for multi layer relief prints. Mix Speedball Transparent Extender Base into water soluble block printing inks to create translucent layers that reveal underlying colors and carved textures. The formulation maintains proper viscosity for even roller distribution and clean transfers, preventing the thin, watery consistency that causes uneven coverage or muddy prints.
