Hi Lena, I'd like to do some multi-color printing on fabric with speedball, water-based ink. I'm familiar with speedball's transparent base, but it seems that's more appropriate for extending the ink without drying it out. What I need is a lighter, thinner ink. Can I just add water to the ink to thin it? I don't want it to wash away completely, but I'd like the first layer to be very light.
