What is a collograph?

Collograph

A print taken from a collage of materials built onto a support board, sealed and inked, and impressed onto the paper, usually by running it through an etching press. A collograph plate may be printed as a relief plate (raised surfaces are inked and printed) or as a intaglio plate (areas below the surface are inked and printed), or as both in different inkings and printings (also called a collage relief print, collage intaglio or cardboard relief).
