It is not necessary to clean the plate between prints, unless desired. Paint residue can contribute to surprising and pleasing results. • There is no need to clean your plate between prints, but it is recommended to clean your plate before storage and remove all paint residue at that time. • We do not recommend using dyes when printing on the plate (such as rubber stamp inks, spray inks and fabric dyes) as the gel will absorb some of the dye and become permanently stained. However, stains will not affect printing performance. • Many paints and inks are compatible with Gelli printing. These include water-soluble printmaking inks and fabric paints. ESSENTIAL TO KNOW • The gel printing plate has an extremely sensitive surface and will imprint any texture it is sitting upon. • Do not cover your gel printing plate with plastic wrap or waxed paper. These wraps will wrinkle and imprint their texture on your gel printing plate. • The gel printing plate is made of a unique plastic that contains mineral oil. The gel plate will leach a small amount of harmless mineral oil when left sitting on an absorbent surface. • We recommend you protect your work surface by placing your gel printing plate on a smooth, flat, non-porous barrier such as a Teflon® sheet, baking tray or piece of glass. • Do not place your gel printing plate directly on a surface that may absorb the harmless mineral oil, like a wooden table. • The gel printing plate may exude a small amount of harmless mineral oil when exposed to warm environments.
