I finally got my hands on the world’s largest gel plate — the 18”x24” poster-sized plate from Gelli Arts — and today I’m making my first gigantic gel prints! In this video, I unbox this beast (a gift from a dear friend 💜), prepare it for printing, and share my first impressions, tips, and test pulls using wet-strength tissue and heavy-body acrylics.

You’ll see how I clean a new plate, what paint worked best for me, and the honest challenges of working at this scale. Plus, I share a little trick (thanks to you all!) that gave me one of the cleanest pulls I’ve ever had.

Want more tips for using your gel plate? Grab my free gel printing course linked below — it’s perfect for artists of all levels.
