Akua Intaglio Inks
Collagraph printmaking is a collage-based technique. Collagraph plates are created by gluing materials such as textured paper, fabrics and other everyday objects onto cardboard or a sheet of plastic. A variety of acrylic mediums and gels can also be used to build up the surface of the plate. The materials applied to the plate will determine the tone and strengths of the ink, and will also give you a variation of textures.
The constructed plate is coated with a thin coat of acrylic medium to protect the materials from repeated cleanings. Once dry, the collagraph plate can be printed either as intaglio or relief.
