Speedball - Gel Printing Kits
Gel Printing Kits
Start making unique monoprints today with everything in one box
Gel printing rewards experimentation, and these kits provide complete setups to start exploring immediately. Each kit centers on a 5" × 5" gel plate, that reusable printing surface that captures textures, stencils, and layered marks with remarkable fidelity. The included 4" soft rubber brayer rolls ink smoothly across the plate, while the instructional insert walks you through fundamental techniques from simple texture transfers to complex multi-layer prints.
The Speedball kit supplies four water-soluble block printing inks plus retarder for extended working time, ideal if you're new to printmaking or prefer straightforward cleanup. The Akua kit takes a different approach with three Intaglio inks, one Liquid Pigment ink, and Blending Medium modifier, a combination that opens richer color mixing and viscosity control for artists pursuing more nuanced effects. Both systems produce archival prints on quality paper.
Choose based on your approach: Speedball for accessible water-cleanup convenience, Akua for expanded technical range. Either way, you're working with professional-grade materials from the start, not compromised beginner supplies that limit what you can achieve.
