There are special benefits of using the gelatin plate and screen printing inks to print on fabric.
- The gelatin plate is malleable and can hold a detailed impression in the ink and then with mere hand pressure it can be transferred to the fabric.
- Other tools like ferns and feather can be combined with the gelatin plate to create delicate details.
- You do not need a press or special printmaking studio
- It is a water based, non-toxic process
