Hectograph A printing process that involves transfer of an original, prepared with special inks, to a pan of gelatin or a gelatin pad pulled tight on a metal frame.
While the original use of the technology has diminished, it has recently been revived for use in the art world. The hectograph has been modernized and made practical for anyone to use. While the hectograph process is obsolete for printing on paper, it is still used for making temporary tattoos on human skin. It is also used to create unique acrylic paint prints. |
