Despite the vaunted "death of the print" with digital media, this article investigates material aspects where printing on paper, more specifically in so-called ephemeral printed matter, still has a differentiated power of significance. This investigation is based on the material analysis of commercial color printing techniques on paper that are distinguished from mass printing techniques – more specifically chromolithography in the 19th century, and risography today – occupying different territories in the universe of collectibles: the guard of historical heritage by public institutions, and the affirmation of style and identity in the self-publications of young artists and designers. The differences in the appreciation of these printed materials through digital media or direct contact with paper samples are also discussed.
