- Create a Gelli print using acrylic paints, acrylic paper, plastic stencils and a latex Gelli printing block.
- Find and print off a black and white image using a laser copier or printer.
- Before you print off the laser image, ensure you create a reverse version of the image. This is crucial if there is text in the image so it does not print out in reverse!
- Once Gelli print is dry, apply Matte Medium to both the surface of the Gelli print and the laser printed image (face up).
- Apply the laser printed image sticky side down.
- Using a printing roller, run over the transfer to apply to the Matte Medium print a few times to the Gelli print.
- Remove any air bubbles using a plastic card such as an old loyalty or credit card.
- Allow print to dry fully overnight in a warm place.
- Remove just the white paper from the laser print transfer using warm water, earbuds and a sponge. Remember to soak the whole paper containing the image throughly before removing paper.
- Remove the paper carefully so as not to remove the laser print transfer. You will probably have to remove a small number of layers before the print can been seen on the Gelli print
- Once all excess paper is removed, leave to dry out throughly.
- Finally, varnish the print using acrylic varnish.
