The Gel Press Gel Printing Plate offers a modern, press-free take on gelatin printing that is vegan, non-toxic and latex free. They are available in a variety of round and rectangular formats. The surface of each Gel Plate is extra sensitive, allowing you to capture more detail and texture in your monoprinting and other printmaking projects. They can be used for all kinds of printmaking techniques including artwork on paper, textiles and scrapbooking. To use apply a variety of media to the surface and make your mark with textures or soft tools. Press your printing surface onto the gel plate, then left to reveal your printed artwork!
Gel Pres Gel Printing Plates are completely reusable. Most inks and acrylic paints can be cleaned with soap and water. Oil based materials can be removed with a drop of baby oil and wiped from the surface. Alcohol Inks can be cleaned using an alcohol-based ink cleaner. Clean your Gel Plate as soon as possible after use. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth and store your Gel Plate in the clamshell case included between uses.

Use soft tools to create impressions in the paint by pressing or drawing through the surface of the plate.
Place your substrate over the top of the Gel Press Plate, or invet the plate on an acrylic mounting panel to transfer your design to your surface.
Pull back to reveal your unique print! Use leftover paint on the Gel Press to create additional prints.

Really enjoyed getting to grip with Gel Plate printing.
The gel plate is really robust and as I have been using it for a few months now I can state confidently it is going to last for years with proper care. The possibilites of this printing method really are endless as a quick tour of relevant YouTube sites will confirm! As a complete novice I have learned so much since I got the plate and really enjoyed experimenting and the results - be aware it is addictive and you will get through a lot of paper, from cheap copier paper to good quality cartridge and watercolour paper.
It tookme a while to get the hang of it but as i say there is plenty of online advice and amazing tutorials for advice and ideas. The plate is so versatile and less messy than a lot of other printing methods. It cleans up with baby oil and wet wipes or you can even wash it under the tap. Just don't use abrasives or damage te surface. I totally recommend the Gel plate and would encourage anyone looking for something new to give it a go. It is expensive but getting the large size means you have the flexibility to produce full size works or even smaller cards by just working part of the plate.
