How To Prepare An Image For Image Transfer Gel Printing
For this image transfer gel print, artist Michelle (@michelle_mixedmedia) first downloaded a free vintage image from the Graphics Fairy website. She digitally edited the image to change it to a black-and-white image and also increased the contrast. Michelle then double-printed the image. To do this, she prints once and then carefully places the paper back in the printer and prints again. This builds up the amount of toner on the page. Michelle used black acrylic paint for image transfer. She let it dry for a few minutes and then added some final colours to pull the print. #gelliarts #gelplate #gelprintingkit #printingplate #monoprinting #printmaking #gelprinting #gelliplate #imagetransfer

Top Tips For Succesful Magazine Transfers
Artist Drew Steinbrecher shares his tips for successful magazine image transfers on a Gelli Arts® gel printing plate: Roll on a thinner layer of acrylic paint. Choose an image with high contrast. Use a light touch when laying down the magazine page. Let sit for a few minutes before pulling the page up. Let the paint dry, then add more paint or matte medium to pick up the image. Let the paper sit until mostly dry, then pull the print. Magazines with glossy pages have the best results.
