Our Story

Discover the passion and creativity behind Gel Press, where art meets innovation to bring you the finest printmaking tools and techniques.

Where It All Began

Gel Press was founded to solve a simple problem: traditional gelatin printing plates were messy, short‑lived and hard to store. Our founders envisioned a non‑perishable plate with the same sensitive surface as gelatin, but without the hassles. Years of research and experimentation led to a proprietary formula that feels like gelatin yet stores at room temperature, is always ready to print, and lasts for countless creative sessions. Today our gel is proudly made in the USA, in Easton, PA, trusted by artists and educators around the world, and used in classrooms and studios alike.

Innovation Through Passion

At Gel Press, creativity is not just a passion—it’s a mission. Born from the minds that invented the first reusable gel plate, our company blends scientific innovation with artistic expression to make printmaking accessible for everyonegelpress.com. We know the thrill of pulling a one‑of‑a‑kind print and the joy of sharing that experience with others. That’s why we’re committed to creating gel printing plates that are safe, durable and endlessly reusable.

Building Community

Creativity flourishes when people feel supported. Gel Press is more than a product line—it’s a community. Our blog features tutorials, project ideas and artist spotlights, while our Creative Team offers inspiration and techniques for every skill level. We work closely with educators by offering lesson plans and classroom packs because we believe printmaking cultivates problem‑solving, experimentation and self‑expressiongelpress.com. Whether you’re a seasoned printmaker, a teacher looking for engaging activities, or a beginner curious about mixed media, Gel Press empowers you to explore and express without limits.
