Review on Speedball 008020 Gel Printing Kit by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Complete failure

I have been making 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 I really expected it to be great! SPEEDBALL is synonymous with engraving! I learned from their products and still own their printed products, bought in the 1970s. What's up, speedball? It's just shameful. If you're pulling a mono print, you should have some time to create on the plate. Not with that. The paper only glued by hand and the paper fully glued. I'm not just disappointed, I'm disgusted.
