Collagraphy... is a printmaking process in which materials are applied to a rigid substrate(such as cardboard or wood).... The plate can be intaglio inked, inked with a roller or paintbrush, or some combination thereof. Ink or pigment is applied to the resulting collage, and the board is used to print onto paper or another material using either a printing press or various hand tools. The resulting print is termed a collagraph.

DEF

The assembling of typographic material such as type, art, illustrations and other elements into the final page format for printing or incorporating into a printing plate. This assembling can be done by hand, machine(cast), typewriter(strike-on), or phototypesetting(including laser and digital typesetting).

OBS

Technically speaking, typesetting, the assembling of type matter, comprises only part of the larger composition process and excludes the assembling of artwork. The terms "composition" and "typesetting", however, are often considered synonymous. Furthermore, the equivalent for both terms is the same in French.

Normally, another screen is needed for each colour of the eventual drawing. The prim paste is spread across the screen by hand with a(rubber) squeegee blade forcing the paste through the screen.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printing Processes - Various
  • Photography
CONT

Process prints are the opposite of manual prints. By definition this means they are not original prints. In process printing, the printing plate is not made by hand but mechanically(by process). Nearly all process prints you will come across involve the use of photography. These are called photomechanical prints. Photomechanical printing, which comes in a wide variety of forms, was designed for commercial mass production. The photomechanical processes reproduce images, for example, reproducing a painting for an art book, a photograph for a magazine or a cartoon for a newspaper.

Il est d'ailleurs le seul procédé qui permette d'imprimer sur des objets tels le verre, les plastiques, la céramique, etc.
