This is sometimes referred to as A la poupée, which means "with a dolly." The term dolly refers to anything used to apply ink to the surface of the plate or block, such as a piece of card, a squeegee blade, a dabber, or a piece of scrim or woven blanket. A la poupée can be used on collagraph blocks, plastic plates, and zinc, steel, and copper plates. If the pure colour is to be retained, a collagraph block, a plastic plate, or a steel plate are the ideal materials. First you need to prepare all the required coloured inks. They can be mixed from pigments or used directly from a tube. In order to keep the colours as pure as possible, use a separate dolly for each one. Apply the first colour as accurately as possible using a dolly, and use the dolly to push the ink into the desired areas. If you apply the inks precisely and with patience, it is possible to create defined edges to the colours. The different levels of the collagraph plate are an asset in this type of colour printing because they help to separate areas from each other. The heavy coating of ink is first removed by lifting it off with scrim. The fabric is folded into a form—a comfortable pad held in the palm of the hand. Wipe the plate in a circular motion all over the whole area to ensure even wiping. Then, wipe off excess ink carefully with the scrim until the plate is ready to print. By applying each colour and wiping it with scrim before introducing the next colour, you can achieve a controlled application of multiple colours. Apply the next colour, taking care to keep it within the area required. It is a useful practice to overlap the inks purposefully to create an extra colour, and the combined colours produce a soft blend. Using the corners of your cardboard square can help keep the edges of coloured areas clearly defined. I kept applying more colours to my collagraph plate, and the final colour is placed on the plate. Place a prepared registration sheet on the bed of the press over a clean sheet of newsprint paper. Next, carefully place the inked plate in position and lay the printing paper on top. Then, place a piece of newsprint over the back of the printing paper to protect and keep it clean too. The block is then run through the press under two blankets. When adjusting the top roller, always try to lift or lower both sides simultaneously, keeping the roller level as it moves up or down to prevent too much force from being applied to the roller bearings. Remove the blankets and the newsprint to reveal your prints. Here is my final outcome. The plate is run through the press for a second time—here is my final outcome. Re-apply ink to your whole block again before starting the Chine collé process. Nori is rice flour, otherwise called rice starch. Cut or tear pieces of coloured paper to the desired shape. Apply nori to the back using a dolly, then place the prepared coloured paper pieces face down on the plate with the glue side facing up. Finally, print the image as normal using newsprint, the block printing paper, and blankets. Here is my final outcome.
