Gelli or Silicone for acrylic printing

Image
 Gelli Prints - on Gelli plate or silicone plate? If you want any sort of large size print you need to either join several prints together or Get a big gel plate. Now gel plates are expensive. There are lots of recipes for gel plates but I think most are either difficult to make or don't last long. I bought a Gelli plate that measures 20 x 25 cm and I find it excellent. If I clean it properly after use and store it properly then its as good as new for the next time.  However I want to try printing larger than 20 x 25 cm. So I have bought a silicone mat. Its 1.5 cm thick so should have a bit of "give" in it.
