The technical process or art of making colored collotype prints, combining photomechanical printing with color application.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) plus 'collography,' itself derived from 'collotype' (a photomechanical printing process), representing a technological innovation of the 19th-century printing industry.
Chromocollography was the high-end color printing technique of the 1800s—museum-quality color reproductions of artworks came from this process before modern color photography and inkjet printing were invented.
