My image did transfer to the plate but not to anything else. Also now i can't get the ink/print off my gel plate. Is there a way of cleaning and wiping the plate clean?😢
Oh dear! I’ve never had that happen- try putting the thin layer of paint on the plate and print on copy paper or card stock leaving the paper on the plate until the paint is dry. - then pull. That should get the inkjet ink off. If it doesn’t- you could try baby oil or baby wipes to rub it off.
@@LaurenEverettFinn Thank you I will try that when I get home I'll let you know
Well I got about 85% of the print to come off with baby wipes😊 I felt a little funny buying them now that my kids are adults😂. Thank you for your advice. I would really like to find a way to transfer some of my artwork pictures from my laptop using my inkjet printer. Is there another option I can try with what I have? Also I am using a gel plate that I made last night with gelatin and glycerin. Thanks.
@@faithmusic9 I’m surprised that the ink didn’t pull off your plate with the paint. I’ve never heard of that before. Glad you got most of it off. I’ve made plates too- they aren’t as sturdy as the purchased ones, and I’ve never tried to do ink jet transfer with them- I hope it works for you! The only other option might be to get laser prints made and print from those- which is actually the opposite process than ink jet. Laser print resists the absorption of the paint and leaves the image on the plate. Good luck!
I was so hopeful when I saw this but I could not get anything to transfer. I used premium paper because I have not found brochure paper. The premium has a slight gloss to it but not like photo paper. Do you remember the brand of paper and brand of inkjet? I really want this to work somehow but neither inkjet nor laser has and I wonder if it is brand specific. My photos are super high res contrast so I don’t think that the problem. And magazines do work when I find the right one so at least there’s that. Charcoal drawings transfer quite nicely too. I would just love to MY PHOTOS to 😢
Hi there- so sorry it didn’t work for you- yet! This was Staples brand brochure paper- but I’ve gotten it to work with regular paper. Make SURE you are using black ink only. Not black and white image (that setting uses all the colors to make the grays) I could only access that option via my computer- not an option when printing from my phone. My printer is an HP Envy 4500. Also- sometimes the pull is light and you didn’t think you got it- but there will be imagery there. Push the contrast, so there’s a lot of the black. Good luck!
What did you use with the roller please? Was it acrylic paints?
Golden fluid acrylic paint- white and buff colors. It just needs to be acrylic paint though- it doesn’t have to be that brand. Good luck!
@@LaurenEverettFinn thank you
Be careful if you have a new plate- it might stick and be really hard to pull. My Platte is Eurasia old and seasoned!
I've watched tons of Gelli vids. I don't remember ever seeing this glossy paper being used. It makes so much sense that the ink would transfer better as it's just sitting on top! Thank You So Much !!!! Wow 5 years ago? Where have you been all my gelli life?
Be careful if you have a new plate- the shiny paper will STICK. My plate is well used and was fine.
You won’t see people using Gloss Photo paper because the manufacturers warn not to. Read the instructions on your Gel plate as it is not advised.
@@jdmosaicsThank you- yes- I say that in written comments- my plate is old and well used. I don’t have the sticking problem that you would with a new plate. Gloss paper is not advised- I’m a rule breaker. 🙃
I don´t get it. Without any medium or paste on the plate? just print on plane plate?
Right- you pull the ink from the ink jet print first. Then coat with paint and pull. The ink from the print pulls off with the paint layer.
This was not done with inkjet and no medium, I tried your instructions and the B&W print did not transfer at all (zero) to gel plate
Sorry you’re having trouble. It was inkjet- no medium- I used golden fluid acrylic to pull the ink off the plate . Make sure your printer is set to black ink only. Black and white setting uses all the colors to make grays and will not work. Hope that helps!
Do you have specifics on what kind of printer and paper you used? I'm having trouble getting mine to work have yu tried lazer printer?
Whoops- didn’t see your question until today. Sorry about that. Printer is HP Envy 4500- brochure paper was Staples brand (don’t know if they still make it)😕. Make sure printer settings are BLACK INK ONLY. (Black and white setting doesn’t work because the printer uses all the colors to make the gray scale) I’ve not done it with laser prints- that’s a different process in that the ink on the paper creates a resist to the paint, and soaks in the paper so it leaves the image in the plate. One of these days I’ll experiment with that! Good luck!
I have spent all afternoon trying to get this technique to work...but it doesn't! I am using double sided brochure paper, printing in black only....but nothing is transfering! I have seen other videos were they leave the paper on for an hour...tried that...nothing! What am I missing here? I have read a lot of similar comments...is there a 'step' missing from the video? This is so frustrating...and now I have lots of useless brochure paper!😩
I’m so sorry you’re not having success. How frustrating! You said you used black ink only- not black and white setting? (That uses all the colors to make gray scale) There’s nothing there at all? Sometimes the print is very faint but shows when you lift with light opaque paint. The only other thing I can think of is the printer ink is different than mine- ? I have an HP envy 4500.
Is your printer set to high quality print or draft? If draft, it could be that there's too little ink being printed onto the paper for it to transfer successfully
It dont work at all !!! 😂❤ sorry ! The glossy paper/ photo paper ... maybe ... but no way with the normal paper. By the way no printer have white ink ! White is all the time the paper . I can follow that it works with glossy paper ... ❤
I’m sorry you didn’t have success- Make sure your printer settings are set to print with black ink only. Not greyscale. I don’t know what you mean about white ink- no white ink in a printer. I used white paint to pull the black ink jet ink off the plate? Maybe that’s what you’re referring to?
Oh my black ink is seperated into my printer . Every ink can have no whit or other colors in it. I googled it. I know now that laser printer have powder in there ink can. The laser burn the powder on the paper this is the gine different why transfair only with laserprinter work. The other system soaks up the ink. Laser printer seal the paper with there system. I want to try your way to transfair when I bought some photo or glossy paper.
If you have a new plate, be careful with using glossy paper. With new plates the glossy paper can stick to the plate and be really hard to remove. I’d test a tiny corner before you lay the whole glossy sheet on your plate. Yes- a laser print works differently than this method- this method transfers the print ink onto the plate- then you layer paint on the plate then pull the print.
@@LaurenEverettFinn thank you for the tip with the glossypaper. 👍❤
This did not work for me. I used double sided brochure paper. I even let it sit on the gell plate for a while. What brand of paper did you use? What branch of gell plate did you use? I must make a difference.
The brand of brochure paper was Staples brand- I have a Gelli Arts plate. Make sure your printer is only using black ink. If you select grey scale, the printer uses all the colors to make the black and white photo. I can only access that black ink only option if I use my computer- it’s not available if I try to use my phone. I have an Epson Envy printer.
I tried this using glossy photo paper, since you used "brochure" paper that was the most similar paper I had, but it didn't work at all. The paper *really* stuck hard to the gelli plat but when I got it pulled up, there was no transfer at all. 🤷🏼♀
I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you- if your plate is newish- I’ve learned from others that the shinier paper does really stick. Was your printer set to use only black ink? Not black and white setting- that setting uses all the colors to make the grays.
@@LaurenEverettFinn - I'm not sure what the difference is. If I set my printer to print only in black and white, even if the image itself is not 100% grayscale, doesn't that use only black ink? I'm not sure how else I would achieve that.
I can only access the black ink only option from my computer. Grayscale (option on my phone) doesn’t always use just black ink. That setting is almost always all the colors mixed to make the grays. Hope that helps
@@LaurenEverettFinn Thanks, I’ll look into it further. Appreciate your reply!
Good luck!
Doesnt work
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. Make sure you’re using black ink only- black and white image won’t work because it uses all the colors to make gray
Fake
I don't have that kind of skill to make a fake.
I sure hope this works for me, because nothing has yet😢. What paint did you use? I wasn't sure
Is the brochure paper you use specifically for inkjet or will any brochure paper work? Also I’m using a home made agar agar gel plate so not sure about what to use to clean it afterwards.
I think its definately to do with the paper as had some laser printed and still did not work, so seems to need a brochure type surface for more successful transfer opposed to matte or gloss.
Does it work with colour images? Fabulous!
hi, so is the inkjet printout fresh and damp when you put it on the gel plate or already dried. What makes it come off and stick to the gel plate ? is it just the connection of the gel plate material and the dried inkjet ink. I didnt see you put anything down on the gel plate first. Are you relying on a sheeny paper so that the inkjet ink stays loose or does that not matter. Thanks
Brilliant, thank you from a newbie crafter from England 😊
Oh no, it didn’t work for me 😢 I’ve got a new gelli plate and it was the first time I’d tried this but no luck, the photo didn’t transfer
Does it have to be that kind of paper? Nothing happened with a non glossy paper.
OMG. 🤯 This video should be the FIRST one newbies like me watch to learn how to do image transfer with a gel plate. I have been watching dozens of gel printing videos from dozens of artists before planning my very first printing session, and they make it so much more complicated than your technique. Plus, they all state that you have to use laser printed images or require special supplies to transfer inkjet images. Why did I watch so many videos? I think I was intimidated. Your method is so simple and accessible. Tonight I'm picking out a bunch of vacation photos and trying this, and I can't wait to see how they turn out! Thank you!!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your method. I appreciate it!
Perfect. Appreciate that you get to the point quickly. Thanks.
I can’t get mine to work and I’m using an inkjet with glossy paper. Is it my printer?
Great tip on wrinkle-free collaging - thanks!😊
You are very welcome! 😊🙌🏻
Just come across your video - just what I was looking for, thank you! If you pick this comment up, could you tell me if you left the print to dry on the glossy paper first before transferring it to the gel plate or was it still wet from the printer?
I tried it and besides having a helluva time trying to remove my paper from the gel I had no image at all..thoughts?
Thank you. Game changer for a project I have in mind.
Too bad you didn't know what kind of paper you used as it is the most important thing people want to know. Very disappointed.
Thank you for this. I keep hearing that photo transfers only work with a laser printer (which I don't have) so this looks great. I also like that it doesn't reverse the print. I am looking forward to trying it. Can you explain why it doesn't work with colour? You have repeatedly stated that you must use only black ink but I am not clear why there should be a difference. I will have to look at my printer settings but as far as I know there isn't a "black ink only" setting. Would it make a difference if you used gel medium to do the print rather than paint? Also, what would happen if you brayered a thin layer of gel medium onto the plate before pressing down the photo? Would this enable you to print in colour? I am pretty new to gel printing and have a lot of questions! So far I have pulled some great background prints and experimented a bit with stencils. This process is highly addictive and soooo much fun!!!
So before transferring the image, you didn't coat the plate or the glossy paper with anything at all?? just raw transfer???
Hi Lauren, I was excited to find your video as I have an inkjet printer that I would like to use to make gelli plate prints. Do you recommend spraying the finished print with a fixative to protect the ink from the inkjet transfer? Maybe not? The acrylic paint you use does not seem to smear the inkjet ink. Thanks, Eric
It did not seem to move after printing- but you bring up a great point. To be completely sure a spray of some sort of fixative might be a good idea if you’re going to paint on top, and don’t want it to smear at all. I’d experiment and see if it moves. I just tried to scrub the ink with matte medium and it didn’t budge, so I think it’s probably set with the acrylic paint. (?) That’s my best guess.
Do you have to lay the print out before the ink dries? I tried to transfer from inkjet prints and it didn't pull anything at all.
Wow! So simple. And no laser printer needed.
Why do so many people say you can do this with laser prints? Do people not understand the diff between laser and inkjet? Or is my printer just insane?
Why not just print one more copy?
Ha! There are times when you want a transfer- to use in a painting or collage. They aren't as "perfect" as a print from the ink-jet.
What ? U sure it's an inkjet printer ? What kind of paper did u use to transfer ? This is not possible
Looking everywhere to find this technique using an inkjet! Thank you for showing.
Good luck Lucy! Make sure your printer is only using the black ink.
Amazing. The easist so far. (It's called a fist) Thanks.
Sadly, it didn't work for me...but thanks.
I'm so sorry, Valerie. I wish I knew why. Main thing is to make sure you are using black ink only. If your printer is mixing the colored inks to get black- it won't pull.
@@LaurenEverettFinn Ok thx!
You resolved so many of my questions. Thank you
So glad Linda- hope it works for you!
How do you print true black and white my photos always print in shades of grey instead of Black and white.
There should be an option when you print from your computer “black ink only” That’s what you want to use. The photo will still have grays- but they will be made with only black ink. For me- if I try to print from black and white settings on the phone- the printer uses all the colors to make the “black and white” photo and the transfer won’t work. Good luck!
@@LaurenEverettFinn I print with only the black ink cartridge but I have had no luck get anything to transfer. I have tried inkjet and laser as well as glossy and non glossy paper
Hello after several attempts to reproduce an image printed with a laser printer using acrylic colors brand Liquitex we have not obtained any result. the color distributed on the gelatin plate is completely absorbed by the sheet of paper. there is no transfer from the paper to the gel plate. What could be the cause? Where could I have gone wrong? Thanks
This is made with ink jet print- not laser print.
I've tried this with my Epson inkjet printer using ordinary photocopy paper and the image doesn't transfer onto the Gelli plate. Now trying other types of paper and possibly change the acrylic paint.
I’m so sorry you’re having trouble. Make sure you’re using black ink only- not black and white settings. I could only print from my computer- my phone wouldn’t access that setting.
Brilliant and inspiring thank you so much 😊 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🤩
My printouts from my inkjet printer would not transfer... what could o be doing wrong?
Make sure you are using black ink only. If your printer is mixing the colors to make the black and white photo it won't work. Black ink only. Good luck!
Watching again. 🙃🙂😁❤️
all this time I thought this would only work with a laser printer and I just went out and spent money on getting one. I have an inkjet printer already! Duh. Anyway, I will have a go later and see if it works. Thanks!
Ha! I’m contemplating getting a laser printer... I think they work differently- ink jet one leaves ink on the plate- I think the laser print is more of a resist method- either way, have fun!
Thank you for the video. I like to hold a glossy piece of junk mail card stock in my hand when I need to press hard, it allows my hand to glide over the surface smoother and easier. Less pain for arthritis sufferers.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing
