  Block Inks for Leaf Prints
These specialty inks are ideal for making perfect leaf prints on any kind of paper. Unlike many other printing inks or paints, these wash off easily with soap and water.

To expand design options, we also carry ink extender (increases transparency) and ink retarder (slows drying time).
