I've never tried etching inks on my gel plates. Perhaps I'm scared of ruining them! I'd be interested in any exploration you might do of different pens, inks, paints, etc. and how they react on the plate. You certainly seem to get more fine detail with the etching ink. So interesting. Thank you again.
