The Gel Printing Tool Kit is a versatile starter set for artists exploring ink-based printing. It includes a 5 x 5 inch gel printing plate, a 4-inch soft rubber brayer, a red baren, and an instructional guide. The smaller profile of the plates allows for fine, detailed designs, making it ideal for mixed media art, card-making, journaling, and more. For best results, use printmaking inks such as Akua Intaglio, Akua Liquid Pigment, block printing inks, or screen printing inks. Traditional acrylic paints are not recommended, though slow-drying acrylics may be used. This comprehensive kit provides all the essentials needed to experiment with gel printing and create unique, beautiful projects.
