This is a beginner to intermediate demonstration of how to set up, carve, seal, ink, wipe, and print a mat board collagraph without a press. Collagraphs can be printed relief style, or intaglio - and this one prints from the recessed line work carved in a narrow channel out of the very top surface of the plate.

This tutorial is also a demo of challenging vs successful effects of different papers while hand printing. All materials used in the video are linked below in the Show More section You can get the supply lists here: [ Ссылка ]
