Chine Colle. Translated from French this means chine (tissue) and colle (paste or glue). It is a technique used in printmaking to transfer an image from another sheet of paper to the print bonding them together by means of glue under pressure when pulled through the etching press. Collagraph. A collagraph print is a collage printmaking technique. The collagraph print is printed the same way as an etching but includes the principles of relief as well as intaglio printing. The plate (matrix) can have several types of materials glued onto it creating different surface levels and textures. The plate is then sealed, inked and printed. Foxing. These are the reddish-brown, age-related spots that are sometimes visible on old paper. It does not effect the integrity of the paper but is unsightly. There are differing theories as to the cause of foxing. One is thought to be oxidation of iron and copper in the pulp from which the paper was made. Another is fungal growth on the paper. High humity and moisture contribute to foxing. Giclee. An art print made by a special printer which sprays millions of microscopically small drops of archival inks. Click here for more details. Mat. It is the border around the image. MDF. Medium Density Fibreboard is a type of hardboard which is made from wood fibres glued under heat and pressure. Monotype. A monotype is a printing process which is created by covering a metal plate entirely with etching ink then removing the ink through various means thus exposing the plate to create areas of light, pattern and texture. It is a spontaneous painterly technique which produces only one of a kind. |
