🌈 Color Mixing on the Plate: A Beginner’s Guide

Fun, messy, magical, and easier than you think.

One of the best things about gel printing? You don’t have to mix paint perfectly beforehand.

With Gel Press, the plate becomes your palette.

Try rolling two colors side-by-side directly onto your plate.

Then:

✔ Blend softly with a brayer

✔ Leave streaks for texture

✔ Layer transparent colors

✔ Pull your print and experiment

Every pull creates something different.

Try:
Pink + Orange = warm sunset vibes

Blue + Green = ocean-inspired layers

Yellow + Pink = bold summer energy

Black + Brights = dramatic contrast

There’s no wrong way to play.

Layer colors. Add textures. Print over previous pulls.

The more you experiment, the more you discover your style.

And honestly?

Watching colors blend on the plate is kind of addictive.
