Love the video. I have tried for hours to get a magazine image to work. What happens a lot is the paint goes onto the magazine image and no image on plate. So frustrating. I am doing everything in the video. What is happening?
I believe this would also works with your own photos, printed in very high contrast black and white, on a laser printer (an inkjet print runs when it gets wet).
Great tutorial. Fascinating. Am I right in thinking that the dark areas of the original image only absorb some of the paint and so leave paint behind on the gel plate, but the lighter areas on the original are able to absorb all the ink from the gel plate. This would explain why the amount of paint to start with is critical.
I congratulate you, I like what you do. I have tried to do it with a photo and I have not been able to achieve it. I'm using the same paints as yours and I do everything the same and it doesn't work out... I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've been practicing for part of the afternoon and I haven't been able to. I'll try it again tomorrow.😢
Your images are amazing! I am not having much luck with my transfers I am using Liquitex basic acrylic fluid paint. The paints tend to bead up and disappear from the surface. I conditioned my 8 x 10 with some baby oil. Still doesn't work. I tried my 8 x 8 and it is a little better. I cannot seem to get a nice even coat like you do. Are you using a Gelli brand plate? Thanks
Thank you so much for your video. Although I appreciate those beautiful prints of magazines, I would like to use the Gelliplate to print family photos and so far I have not been successful. Thank you for any contribution.
Print them as high contrast laser prints on photocopy paper. Then give them a varnish with a spray varnish. Only light spray. Then they work like magazine photos
