About Chine Colle Technique

Chine Collé is a special technique in Intaglio printmaking in which the image is transferred to a surface that is bonded to a heavier support (heavier paper) in the printing process . One purpose is to allow the printmaker to print on a much more delicate surface, such as Japanese paper , which pulls finer details off the plate. Another purpose is to provide a background color behind the image that is different from the surrounding backing sheet. Chine-collé roughly translates from French, chine meaning tissue and collé meaning glue or paste, Chine because the thin tissue paper traditionally used in the process was imported to Europe from China, India and/or Japan.
