This printing process is a great way to add color to a print. The name is French; the term ‘chine’ comes from thin paper and ‘colle’ is to glue. In this process, thin paper in added to an inked plate during the printing process. Below are pictures of my chine colle prints; I added a blue sky to my Eiffel Tower prints!
