    Default best deal on ink for screen printing posters-question from a humble noob

    Hi everyone. This is my first post. I worked at a screen printing shop for two years, but we only did textile printing. I still want to print on my own (for bands, art prints, ect) and I am on an incredibly tight budget. In fact, I'm literally trying to get a loan from grandma. Can anybody tell me where to find a good deal on water based ink? I've never printed a poster before.

    Start with speedball. I order mine from nick at the half and half. I've never tried house paint which is much cheaper but from reading other posts it seems to have more issues when printing than speedball.

    I too reside in the Dirty South. I just moved half way between Atl and Chattanooga. I might be back in Athens GA soon. Either way, close enough.
