Your public library has great color laser printers and charges about 50 per copy. I have made many gelli prints using these copies. Edit your original to be as high contrast as you can without obliterating the details and you'll get better gelli prints.

Don’t give up! Your print copy is the most important good quality laser print then the amount of paint, not too much! Then a little practice & you’ll get there, cheers!

Ive watched another couple artists transferring using inkjet, and the paper you use makes a difference. It needs to be shiny (shiny copy paper or parchment) apparently. I'm going to give it a go and I'll report back.

@@FroyleArt I cracked the code on my end!!! I have to put my prints through photoshop apps (or even just on phone settings) to make the contrast higher. From what I was experiencing, there cannot be shades of grey…or in other words, it’s not just that the laser print be black and white rather, it’s more about it has to have bold contrast to get the resist. I know some artists pull prints w grey but that might be based on model of printer? Anyways…just thought I’d follow up bc I know we are all here just trying to learn and help each other out ✨

[@maxgottfried]

SOS! Boy have I got headaches.. I apply an even layer of acrylic paint via brayer to my gelli plate. Then I burnish a high contrast magazine picture onto the surface. I carefully remove the clipping and if I am lucky, the image transfers. I then apply a clean sheet of sketch paper and rub it smoothly over the surface. I remove the paper and....NOTHING! NADA! ZILCH! Little to no image transfers. The paint appears dried to the gelli plate and I do not wait long at all between the process. Okay, what am I doing wrong? Wait, don't get me started when I tried applying a second color after the first image rub down. I still get nothing! Wahhh

[@FroyleArt]

I do find magazine image transfers to be very hit & miss! That's why I prefer colour laser copies! Maybe you could try Golden Open paints if the paint is drying too fast? Cheers

[@cheerubebayonettaholopaine2638]

sometimes ive got the feelimg, its about the plate itself. im still ot sure if some colours damages the surface, so its not giving away the color anymore

[@CyndiDuncanArts]

Interesting. I've been using my color laser printer but with black and white. I have had to run the images through twice. I will try the color prints to see if that works better. The paint is always an issue for me. It seems to dry too fast. I end up pulling the paint back off the plate with the brayer. I use golden fluid.

[@sdclizbe]

Okay, so when you're saying toner build-up you're referring to the topographical surface of your desired image right? You would want your image to be just slightly raised higher than the surrounding surface?

[@FroyleArt]

I don’t know about that! I mean the toner that is in the colour of the laser print 👍🏼

[@joecruz6237]

I like your video but here is another ink jet question? I can transfer an ink jet print straight onto my gel plate without adding paint to the plate beforehand. Just straight onto the plate. But I can't seem to transfer from the gel plate to paper? I guess it still isn't going to work? I feel like it's halfway there. ??? Thanks for your time.

[@FroyleArt]

I haven’t tried that approach, you should be able to transfer the image from the plate to paper with a layer of paint? Or even gel medium 👍🏼 All the best with your creative adventures 😍 cheers

Thank you for your lovely videos, very illustrative. Can you please tell me if it is possible to use the same laser copy a few times to place on the gel plate? and if so, can I use a different ink? Thank you

[@FroyleArt]

I'm not sure, I haven't tried it. I think it will depend on how much ink is on the print to resist the paint on the plate. Go on and try it! You have nothing to loose! Cheers Froyle

[@FroyleArt]

Sounds like the paint is being absorbed into your print copy? Is it a home laser printer? If so, try running the print through twice to build up the toner. If you are using a commercial laser copy, try a different shop. Print copies differ & you have to get the right one to get this technique to work. I have a local office shop that works but when I tried copies from online printing they failed! Your print copy is the most important part 👍🏼 happy creating! 😘 cheers Froyle

Just tried it for the first time and it was just like your first example. Acrylic paint didn't stay on the plate. I did use my laser printer to print a photo but only using black and white as I'm out of color ink in the printer. Is this the reason why? I also have heard of people using magazine pages, but I tried that and it didn't work also.

@@FroyleArt thank you, you were very kind. She will try other laser copies. Thank you also for your wonderful tutorials!!! You are always an inspiration! 😘

[@karenleigh2786]

One more question please... the prints that you are using what kind of paper are they, plain paper, photo paper... because I have done everything you show in the tutorial and it is not working... thanks in advance

[@FroyleArt]

They are on standard copy from an office shop. It will most probably be your print copy, must be a colour laser print, commercial printer is better than home printer 👍🏼 cheers!

[@karenleigh2786]

@@FroyleArt The whole reason I went to the expense of getting a laser printer was for things like this and to cut my ink expense and the jet printer smears.... I will try that... I am hoping it works, because your prints are something that I would like to achieve

[@jamesdedakis7967]

what type of paper stock are the laser prints you are using?

[@FroyleArt]

Standard paper colour laser copies from Warehouse Stationary 👍🏼 cheers!

What kind of paper do you use to copy the image?

[@FroyleArt]

I’m using Japanese rice paper to pull the print with a colour laser copy 👍🏼 cheers

[@deborahperlmanart]

Sorry, I don't think I was clear, when you make the copy of the Unsplash image at the store with the Laser printer, what kind of paper do you copy the Unsplash image onto?

Does anyone here have a speedball gelli plate? I purchased one and to my surprise it says it is unfit for acrylic paint. Is that true? Has anyome encountered a problem with acrylics on speedball gelli plates?

[@FroyleArt]

Yes Speedball plates are for using with printing inks, cheers

@@FroyleArt Thank you so much. I want you to know you have unlocked the Geli print crazy women. Lol Didn’t know anything about it until I found you on KZbin.

Is it a glossy or matte paper copy please?

[@FroyleArt]

It’s a standard paper copy but it is a little glossy from the toner in the ink. Ask for the best settings on standard paper 👍🏼 cheers!

[@annabelhill686]

Thank you so much! Xx

[@cristinaciccone4168]

Is system 3 acrylic heavy enough ? Thank you

[@FroyleArt]

I’m not familiar with that paint but the problem is usually the print copy not being good enough or strong enough contrast 😊 cheers!

You can use any paper to pull the print. I use tissue, glassine or Japanese Calligraphy paper or rice paper. But you must have a good quality laser copy print for the transfer to work 👍🏼 cheers
