How to Use Pébéo Slow-Drying Gel

For a practical starting point, mix the gel with your water-based Pébéo lino ink before rolling it onto your printing surface.

1. Measure your materials: Begin with approximately equal parts slow-drying gel and lino ink, using a 50:50 ratio as your starting point.

2. Mix thoroughly: Use a palette knife to combine the gel and ink on a clean inking surface until evenly blended.

3. Roll out the ink: Use a suitable lino printing roller to distribute the mixture evenly.

4. Print your design: Take advantage of the extended working time to refine your inking process and explore blending techniques.

Adjust the mixture as appropriate for your preferred printing method, and follow the manufacturer's directions for best results.
