What is a gel printing plate?

A gel printing plate allows you to construct backgrounds on a non-porous surface before applying it to your chosen media. It's great to try different paints and ink, bringing in blending and brayering techniques to create patterns that will be unique each time. Simply press your cardstock over your prepared plate, rub to transfer the colour then pull your print.
