There's a really old expression: "You Get What You Pay For." I am an avid thrift shopper. I've done it for years, and had very good success with it. And....enter online sites where you can get cheaper items, in bountiful quantities.I tried a cheaper gel plate. And I gave it a true try, with a variety of papers and paints. In that process, I checked in with different content creators who had success in what I was trying to do, looking for advice and instruction. Often: they used this brand of gel plate.And I have to say, right out of the clamshell case: This product was a vast improvement. It was nearly 4 times the price and yes, I can say it was 4 times the value. I used the same paints, same papers and it worked at LEAST 4 times better.I'd like to say it cleaned up well, but my initial test with it needed no clean up, as using different papers required no clean up - a startling difference from the other plate I tried. I mean - there wasn't a ton of paint and (this is a big thing) stuck on paper left behind. Maybe a tiny bit of paint on one edge, but really. It was a pronounced difference.So, from this point of view, I give it a huge thumbs up, and will continue with it. If something goes sideways that I really think I need to report, I will.Size wise, as a new printer, this seemed a good starting point. The tiny ones felt, well, too small. And the large ones were just too expensive for a beginning point for me. To quote goldilocks: This one was just right. :)

Highest quality plate!

Good quality and price

Love my gel plates. This little guy is so cute!!!Great for applying directly into a book.

This is exactly what I wanted, and exactly as described.

I'm still learning to use it. I like it.

I have a larger Gelli plate and just wanted a smaller one. Love this product.

A fun art tool to play with. I had tried one at a workshop years ago and finally decided to get one of my own. There are so many options to use this item. Lots of on-line videos with techniques and great ideas.
