A type of relief printing. Everything but the image is cut away so the image stands in relief. The plate is then inked and printed. Water is then spread over the surface and the application of ink follows. After the ink is applied the areas within the image retains the ink.
Paper is placed onto the plate and the image is absorbed.
Only one color ink can be applied at a time which makes the process time consuming. Matte ilfochrome See Cibachrome Ilfochrome .
