Cornelis was a very successful entrepreneur and that allowed him to become one of the most important art collectors from the Netherlands. Besides collecting drawings he was also interested in the scientific aspect of print making and experimented constantly in seeking new techniques to make etchings in a drawing alike style that reproduced his important collection. He experimented with printing in colour from several plates. He can be called a real inventor and brought the technique of printing to a new level. His working methods have been revealed by Th. Laurentius and catalogued in the work 'Cornelis Ploos van Amstel' Kunstverzamelaar en prentuitgever, published in 1980.
He worked with other printmakers who were obliged to
keep the newly invented techniques secret. Some of
his assistants include Bernard Schreuder, Elisabeth
van Woensel, Cornelis Buys, Cornelis Brouwer. His
printer was Johannes Körlein. Son-in-law of
Cornelis Troost
