The darker ink on the paper acts as a resist, while the lighter colored parts of the paper absorb and pull the paint off of the gelli plate.

stretched canvas question: You can transfer onto most porous surfaces, however the print will come out most clearly on a smooth, flat surface. If your canvas is textured the print will not be as clear

Very well explained. But I have one question. Do you use simple acrilic painting, or is it some kind of special transfer material? Thanks

@SuAndFox

6 ай бұрын

standard acrylic paint. the creaminess(thickness) of the paint will determine the quality of the transfer. But light or fluid paints like Golden can also deliver some interesting patterns.

At 2:50 you say that if I see nothing or a pile of paint then I'll know it did not work. Okay, that's what's happening to me but how do I FIX it? I'm applying a good quality acrylic paint thinly and then the image (laser printed on standard 20# paper) just as you demonstrate, and the paper with the image just soaks up the paint off the gelli plate but the image does not transfer. Any suggestions? Also the instructions that came with my Gelli plate say using glossy papers directly on the plate will damage it so I have not done that.

@ZartArtEducation

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Tina, The transfer will depend more on the image you are using (the paper it is used on and the printer) than the paint. I have found glossy magazines work best for transferring, I haven't noticed any damage to the gel plate in doing this over the past few years. The images that were used in the video were from our own publication "Zart Extra" and a gossip magazine. I would suggest trying a few different types of magazines as it is trial and error finding out what works as we are not sure on the exact type of printer/ink/paper that is being used for each publication.

How did this work. Like how did catch the image of magazine

@sonofhibbs4425

3 жыл бұрын

I’ve just tried this, so I’m not at all an expert, but apparently the ink on the printed image acts as a resist, or rather leaves the paint you put on the gelli plate. Everywhere there is no ink on the image (white areas) will soak up the paint you put down and come off the gelli paint. It’s something to do with the ink used on the printed image.. I know, I was confused as to what occurs and how this is done too! But having tried it, I can see what’s happening, though I don’t really understand why. Hope this helps. ...oh and, it’s very important to have a thin layer of paint...not thick, as it’s too much.

Hi Mari, we are using images from a magazine. It requires some trial and error to find what printer and paper will work best for a transfer, I'd recommend trying a few different papers and prints on smaller scale prints to see what works best.

Having a hard time getting timing right. I did a pull using red, it seemed OK. Then I wanted a blue layer. The red turned purple wherever the colors met and the lines smudged. Sigh.

@ZartArtEducation

Жыл бұрын

Hi Julie our advice would be to wait for the layer to dry before each print if you don’t want colours to mix. A thicker paint I find will smudge less as well. Watery paints are more likely to be a bit slippery on the plate. We hope this helps.

The paint can play a role. If it is a cheaper watery paint it will not transfer. Something with a decent thickness like Chromacryl or Global paints seems to work well for us. Also when applying the paint to the gel plate ensure you apply a thin layer (Just enough to coat the plate evenly).

Your acrylic paint may have a high water content which can make it difficult to spread over the plate. Using a thicker acrylic may solve this issue. Otherwise there may be some kind of residue left on the gel plate. You could try to remove this by wiping the plate down with a wet cloth or baby wipe. Hope that helps!

The problem may be the transparent enamel that most the magazine have. That doesn't allow the ink's tranfering. You can realize wether it has enamel or not by scratching with the finger the paper's surface, if the ink gets blurred, it means that there's no enamel applied. See you.
