★ Art Shed Staff Tip
With gel printing, less paint is more. A thin, even layer rolled out with the brayer gives crisp prints. Too much paint just gives you a very expensive smudge.

Questions About Printmaking & Gel Printing
What is gel printing?
Gel printing uses a soft, flexible gel plate to make monoprints. You roll a thin layer of acrylic paint onto the plate, add texture or stencils, then press paper on top to lift a unique print. No press or carving is needed.
What paint do you use for gel printing?
Acrylic paint is the most popular choice for gel printing because it dries quickly and gives bright, layered results. Applying it in thin layers with a brayer works best.
What do I need to start lino printing?
You need lino blocks, carving tools, block printing ink, a brayer or roller, a flat surface for rolling out ink and paper to print on. Beginner lino kits bundle most of this together.
Is lino printing suitable for kids?
Lino carving tools are sharp, so younger children need close supervision. Soft cut blocks are easier to carve, and gel printing is a great no-carving alternative for kids.
