Review: Great tool for gel tablet printing - I use this baren for all my gel plate prints and works just fine. It has a great ergonomic design with a sturdy wooden handle. Slides easily over the print paper, assuring a tight grip of paint between the gel tablet and the printing paper. You can do the same with a bottle or some other object. It's not a must that you should have this barten but it provides great facility and control when smoothing the paper. If you print daily, I'm sure you'll appreciate the ergonomic comfort it provides. It is a bit on the pricey side. It's not cheap. But it is well constructed and should last longer than its cheaper and mostly plastic alternatives.
