    I think they both have their place in the art studio. I do like the softer look of the homemade plate. If you want an image with crisper lines and detail then use the commercial made.

    I have a Canon inkjet printer and I am able to transfer inkjet prints to gelli plate. Here is what I do: the moment the inkjet print comes out of the printer, I press it without (!) any medium, face down onto the gelli plate. Then I moisten the back of the paper with water. I carefully press it a bit down by blotting the back with a tissue. 2-4 minutes or so later, I lift the paper up and my inkjet print has transferred to the gelli plate. I let it dry and then continue. I assume the water dislodges the ink and transfers it to the gelli plate. Take note: I do NOT moisten the gelli plate, only the back of the inkjet print. Saves me tons of money to get laser prints done. Also: be aware, it might be the Canon printer that works particularly well for this technique as it uses a combination of pigment and dye ink. Thanks for your great videos!

    Your videos are a joy and I like both formats. I like the softer homemade plate, however, I think the pro-made plate lends itself more effectively to two-tone work, while creating the low contrast you like.

    • @NitsaCreativeStudio
      @NitsaCreativeStudio  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much sweet Reni 🥰 You're right, it definitely depends on the look I'm after and how I'm going to use my prints. For example, if I use over a busy collage, I often prefer a clear simple image printed with a commercial plate.

    I think the gel plates with the images look cool. Wish I could figure out how to frame them.....with glass?

    • @NitsaCreativeStudio
      @NitsaCreativeStudio  6 месяцев назад

      You mean to frame the gel plate itself? If that's what you mean, I've never thought about it... maybe a shadow box? But in any case make sure you add alcohol to the recipe since the gelatin might have a limited life span.

  • @lynxlady5355
    @lynxlady5355 6 месяцев назад

    I really liked the comparison of the homemade gel plate vs the commercial plate. I would have liked to have seen the 2 prints laying flat, side-by-side so I could have paused the video and had a chance to really look carefully at them to compare results.
    If you can do a still-shot of them together it would be most helpful. Thanks for the video.

      You're right! I was actually planning to drop in a photo of both together but forgot 😔 Anyway, here is a link to the image of both transfers together (it's from my book): i.pinimg.com/736x/b0/b9/17/b0b917efae2a0913d970c0af2b9172b6.jpg

      Yes, you can reuse them many many times. I have mine for 3 years now and they are still great. I store them in a box with printer paper in between them.

    I don’t have a lazer.. so now what? How do you make a transfer

    • @NitsaCreativeStudio
      @NitsaCreativeStudio  6 месяцев назад

      You actually have 3 ways to make a transfer:
      1. Use a toner based photocopy from your local copy center.
      2. Check out this list of inkjet transfers: ruclips.net/p/PLVXvj790IYcOPzLXYix-HUUNdroVYwuMo
      3. Read my article about how to obtain an inexpensive laser printer: www.nitsacreativestudio.com/blog/inexpensivelaserprinters

    How long will your homemade gel plate last before it goes moldy. I imagine the agar agar will degrade more slowly. How do you think you should store your homemade gel plates?.

    • @NitsaCreativeStudio
      @NitsaCreativeStudio  4 месяца назад

      Hi Cynthia, both the gelatin and agar agar plates seems to last forever, or at least for a few years now. Never noticed any mold. Some of the gelatin plates seem to lose shape after some use and if you don't like it you can always melt them in the microwave and reset them. I store my plates in a wooden box with printer paper in between them. I hope this helps.
