Refresh your Gelatin for more Printmaking w/ Linda Germain

[NancyToday]

This is incredible. You've opened my eyes to a whole new medium! Thanks sooooo much!  I need new things. A constant supply!

What kind of inks do you use? And can you use oil based?

inks should be water based because the gelatin plate is water based. I use speedball water based block printing ink and Daniel Smith water soluble block printing inks. You can experiment with other water based media like, acrylics, and water colors, poster paints & screen printing inks. Some people use the akua inks but I did not have much luck with them. You just have to experiment. Have fun.

This is fun, a new way to create lovely crafts. I can't wait to try it.......How old should be the gelo plate before refreshing? Thanks.

I thought I responded to this question but I guess not. When the jello is so sloppy that you can't ink it or too cracked for your liking.
