Chromocollotypy

/ˌkroʊmoʊˈkɑləˌtɪpi/ noun

Definition

The technique, process, or practice of producing colored collotype prints through chromocollographic methods.

Etymology

From 'chroma' (color) and 'collotypy' (the practice of collotype printing), following the '-y' suffix pattern for naming artistic and technical practices.

Kelly Says

Chromocollotypy was such a precise process that it required both photographic expertise and artistic judgment—the printers essentially had to be part scientist, part artist to manage color accurately on copper or steel plates.
