In the this video, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my complete workflow for creating professional-grade image transfers on the gel plate. If you’ve ever struggled with blurry magazine transfers or wanted to print your own specific visions, this digital-to-analog method is for you.
We start in Adobe Firefly to generate unique, high-contrast imagery, move into Photoshop to prep the files for a flawless lift, and finish with the essential settings for laser printing to ensure your gel plate grabs every single detail.
What you’ll learn in this tutorial:
* Prompting for Print: How to use Adobe Firefly to create images that actually work for transfers (focusing on contrast and edges).
* Photoshop Prep: My secret sauce for adjusting threshold, levels, and scales to make sure your image transfers crisply without sticking.
* The Technical Side: Why a laser printer is non-negotiable and the specific paper settings I use.
* From Paper to Plate: A quick look at the final pull and the results you can expect.
Tools Mentioned:
* AI: Adobe Firefly
* Software: Adobe Photoshop
* Hardware: Laser Printer (Black & White or Color)
* Surface: Gelli Arts / Gel Printing Plate
Whether you’re a seasoned Gelli pro or a digital artist looking to get your hands dirty, this workflow will change the way you think about mixed media.
