Mark making on a gel plate... 1. Use a tool to remove paint from the plate, like a cotton swab. 2. A color shaper also works well. 3. Using dark paint then printing over top of other prints gives you great results. More details on my blog. Have fun!💥🎉🎨

What makes an image transfer with a Gelli® plate work? The ink on printed matter repels the acrylic paint on the printing plate. The paint that doesn't adhere to the page stays behind on the gel plate and leaves an image you can pull! The printed matter can be a brochure, a magazine page, a book page or a laser print of your own photos. Find out all there is to know about image resist transfer gel printing in the FAQ on our blog!
