Akua Carborundum Platemaking Gel

Akua Carborundum Platemaking Gel from Speedball

236ml

Used to create collagraph printmaking plates. This ready-to-use platemaking gel offers a reliable medium that delivers fine, sharp detail and a uniquely textured surface that yields rich, velvety areas of colour. 

For best results, screen print the gel onto a plastic plate using a exposed screen and allow to dry. Ink up with Akua Intaglio Inks, wipe excess ink and print through an etching press. Areas printed with Carborundum Gel should be dark and rich. The gel can also be worked into whilst wet on the plate. Please read our blog post for step by step instructions.
