I have tried this over and over and over again with a black and white laser printed image and it never works. The image never sticks to the ink when pressed onto the gel plate. All these videos make it look so easy... it's doing my head in.
Try a colour copy of a black and white image. Some laser printers do t put enough ink down. Colour laser printers and photocopiers give a thicker print
@@lucysartstudio is that what you used? A color laser printer on the color settings but set for b/w on the file? Or did you send it electonically to place and had it printed it our as color file?
Hi Lucy, I absolutely love your artworks! !! I also love the colour schemes you tend to use! Brilliant!!! 💖👍 Lucy, I have tried everything with different laser printers from different places but have not been successful. Would you kindly let me know what brand of laser printer do you use, please? Much appreciated, Lucy!!! 🙏🧡
Nice to hear from an Australian artist! My problem with the image transfer is that most printers only use laser printing and I can't find the right kind of printers. Any suggestions?
I have a home made plate. I couldn’t get the print out of my laser printer dark enough. I wonder I I need to get glossy or semi gloss paper for laser printers? My design just would not transfer even with the right consistency of paint. Could my issue partly be because it’s a diy geli plate? I want to buy the proper thing but can’t at the moment
Lucy Thankyou for a lovely demo. My laser photo transfers do not come out unless I put the photo through 2-3. Times. Obviously the Brother toner I have is not good quality. It was generic. I wonder if an original would produce better results. Any of your lovely subscribers have the same problem? I would love to know.
Different laser printers give different results. The best is a colour laser printer. Still make your picture black and white, but print it with the colour setting. Another option that works is to lightly spray your photo copy with gloss picture varnish. Let it dry and then do your transfer. This seems to work every time. Let me know your result :)
@@lucysartstudio I have watched a ton of videos on photo transfers and was about to give up when this video & this comment appeared on my feed. I was starting to doubt that the copy machine was actually a laser copier. Nothing worked! But I found some semi gloss varnish & tried that. It Worked! Finally. I now have the Gloss and will see if that makes a better transfer. Thanks so much for information. This was a life safer and will allow me to use my own photos now.
Are you still having live classes? Asking because this video is a couple of years old. Also noticed that the bottle for the black paint was not the Golden brand that you mentioned. Thank you for any information about that!! Your prints are beautiful!
How do you remove the layers of gel print , but yet they are in the final picture? I don't get it. I see the plate completely wiped, but your images appear. I like the process and want to learn..........Thank you
Hi Lucy, did you say the writing page you used for the Eiffel Tower print was on glossy paper? Do glossy magazines work better than matte finish magazines? Thanks 😊
So, you use a laser photo printer, you print it in B&W but the toner is color, right?? So, is rather a palette of greys. Coz I tried with B&W laser printer and it doesn't work.
so the laser print on the paper doesnt absorb the acrylic or paint and leaves it on the gelli plate.. its cool how the printing press principal is being ultilized here without the big expense and effort of an actual litho printing press..or Heidelberg..
Thank you for sharing your gelliplate techniques. You've provided tips that I haven't seen before on UA-cam. ❤

@@lucysartstudio thank you, I will give this a try.

9:51 Can you recommend a brand of laser printer?
@@lucysartstudio is your image printed on normal paper or special photo paper?
So beautiful prints. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍😍
The Eiffel Tower came out superb! ❤❤
Magical! I love all of the layers...
Thx So interesting. Will give it a try
I love all the layers. Looks so good! 👌

Nice to hear from an Australian artist! My problem with the image transfer is that most printers only use laser printing and I can't find the right kind of printers. Any suggestions?
Enjoyed, loved the results. Other videos I have watched, they always recommend drying layers in between. So many different techniques.
ingenious technique!
Beautiful work! Please teach me. Hugs ❤️
Do you print your photos in glossy paper or sulfite paper?
Great videos you make, thank you! Is it impossible to use inkjet printer to print photos to use with the gelliprint technique
Really helpful, thanks!
Love the layering technique. Great job.

thank you very much for this info - it helps a lot and i think it‘s what we have to do to have a result ❤
@@nj91055could you tell me what brand of semi gloss varnish you used ? Was it a spray ?
Did you use a specific type of black acrylic paint? Thank you for your demonstration!!
Quiero saber si usa tinta gráfica (las de xilografia) o que tinta es?
Gorgeous 💕👏
Thank you
That is stunning ❤

wow, Madame!! Very nice!!! Do you think I could do this exact same technique on a tissue paper? @Lucys Art Studio
Bonjour,c est très beau
Faut-il absolument avoir la plaque de gelée ?J essaie ça sur une feuille de plastique,ça ne marche pas vraiment....Merci
Why does my image come up with the layer. It never sticks to the plate no matter what paper I use, or what thickness of paint I apply? Thank you
Your images are beautiful - can you tell me what printer you use?
I can’t wait to get a gel plate! This looks so much fun. Fab video thanks. New subscriber! 👋
What are the "Golden" paints I see a lot of Gelli printers using? Are they reg acrylic or flow?
Can you use a black and white ink jet copy of the photo?
No sorry, it must be lazer print
How do you remove the layers of gel print , but yet they are in the final picture? I don't get it. I see the plate completely wiped, but your images appear. I like the process and want to learn..........Thank you
What's the brand of paint you are using in the large bottle?
Hobson, but I now mainly use Amsterdam acrylics. Check out some of my new ones at Instagram lucysartstudiohome
May I ask what type of paper you are transferring onto? Thank you!
I am using hot pressed watercolour paper in this video
Why won't my image transfer onto the plate? I have a laser printer. Help!
Heaven help me if I can get this to work. My laser jet copies are black and white and high contrast but not transferring
I’m going to try glossy laser printer paper. Never use photo paper because it will stick to the Gelli pad.
Hi Lucy, did you say the writing page you used for the Eiffel Tower print was on glossy paper? Do glossy magazines work better than matte finish magazines? Thanks 😊
No just photo copy paper. It was my photo
So, you use a laser photo printer, you print it in B&W but the toner is color, right?? So, is rather a palette of greys. Coz I tried with B&W laser printer and it doesn't work.
My laser printer does nothing even when passing image 3 times in printer
Hi Ma'am! May I ask if I could you canvas instead of paper? Thank you, Ma'am🌹
so the laser print on the paper doesnt absorb the acrylic or paint and leaves it on the gelli plate.. its cool how the printing press principal is being ultilized here without the big expense and effort of an actual litho printing press..or Heidelberg..
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Magazines don’t work for me. I’ll try prints from a laser printer next.
