FAQs

What is Gelli Plate printing?

What kind of paint should I use?

How do I clean my gel plate?

Clean your gel plate with mild soap and water. Gently pat it dry with a paper towel. For stubborn paint, baby wipes or gel hand sanitizer can help remove residue.

How should I store the gel printing plate?

Store the gel plate on a smooth, flat surface, protected with plain white copy paper. Avoid using plastic wrap or waxed paper.

Can I use fabric dyes on the gel plate?

It is not recommended to use fabric dyes or rubber stamp inks, as these can stain the plate.

What tools do I need for gel printing?

You can print on paper, fabric, and other materials.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not transferring well.

Ensure you are using the correct type of paint (acrylic paints are recommended). Make sure there is enough paint on the plate and that you are applying sufficient pressure when transferring the print.

Plate is stained after use.

Clean the plate immediately after use with soap and water or baby wipes to remove paint residue. Avoid using inks that may stain the plate.

Prints are smudged or blurry.

Use a brayer to apply an even layer of paint to the plate. Make sure the paper or fabric is pressed firmly and evenly onto the plate during the print transfer.
