The size is really good. Can't wait to try and use it

Glad to get the item. The size is really good. I shipped this to the Philippines expecting it to have warpage and dents but the packaging of the speedball is very strong and I received the item in perfect condition. Can't wait to try and use it.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Sad equipment

Alcohol Ink No No - Basic Matters

Nowhere on the packaging or in the product description does it say DO NOT USE WITH OPAQUE WHITE PLASTIC. So I tell my friends who color with alcohol DO NOT USE WITH CEILING WHITE PLASTIC. This special substrate adheres directly to the plate. I had to soak the slab in water for 15 minutes and even after that clumps still flew off the slab when I tried to remove it. I don't know if the opaque white plastic will stick to other brands of gel pads and don't want to ruin my discovery of other plates.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Zero star for broken useless plate

Very disappointed with this plate. It doesn't matter how much paint or how little paper sticks. I've never experienced this with any other gel color I've had. Same color and technique. Unsuitable for use as it is sticky straight out of the container. Even the plastic coating stuck. Bryer got stuck, my hand got stuck and the paper got stuck. Absolutely zero working time. Used extension cords and could barely get rid of it. Can not be deleted. stained glass. Have used the same color on other…

Pros
  • wrapping paper
Cons
  • dull packaging

Total failure

I've been printing monochrome prints since the 1970's. This was long before gel sheets were commercially available. I have six different records made by two other companies. I have NEVER had problems like this with this product. I used the same paint (Amsterdam, Liquitex and Golden Acrylics), sconces and paper that I have used for many years. Each print stuck to the plate! I changed the amount of paint, no difference. Tried paper with a different density, again no difference. I have orders and…

Designed for use with ink

At the time of purchase this brand was the cheapest for an 8x10 plate. I have other cymbals from other companies (and homemade cymbals). What I like about this cymbal is that it's thinner, lighter, cleaner, and feels solid so it doesn't break easily. However, I was unaware at the time of purchase that it was designed to be used with inks, although other media can be used. When I used ink the colors came out beautifully and on glossy paper you could get the effect of almost being over-inked into

Pros
  • Gift Wrapping Accessory
Cons
  • Large and Bulky
