Set of inks https://amzn.to/3Fsy8ij

Or Speedball https://amzn.to/470aoO1

or Scola ink https://amzn.to/4741eQC

You can use traditional oil based inks or oil paints and acrylics at a push if its all you have but you don’t get the detail and if you are working with children poster paints do work.

For Fabric Printing Speedball Fabric printing ink Black https://amzn.to/408pAqa , White https://amzn.to/3MeS24d  or a set of 6 https://amzn.to/3FtNqmN

Surface A smooth non-porous – I am using a sheet of glass but it can be a piece of Perspex or a laminated sheet. Or these monoprinting sheets https://amzn.to/3FqBEd3

Roller/Brayer I like the black Essdee roller https://amzn.to/3FO8zbL  

Or this one https://amzn.to/45Llm9l

And for a soft fabric roller I use this one https://amzn.to/3Q7xonB but you can use other types of printmaking rollers or a household sponge roller if that’s all you have (or with children) but there will be a reduction in detail.

Paper  I am using cartridge paper 220 gsm white this one is similar https://amzn.to/46yZr6p or Black https://amzn.to/3tQdFRI  

but you can use any smooth textured paper which is not too thick (220 gsm or less) printer paper is fine to start with.
