Speedball Gel Printing Tool Kit – 5 x 5 in Gel Plate, Rubber Brayer & Baren

The Speedball Gel Printing Tool Kit gives you the basic tools needed to start experimenting with gel plate monoprinting without investing in a printing press. The compact 5 x 5 inch plate is manageable for small prints, pattern development and creative studies.
