WHAT IS RISO?

Risography (aka Riso) is printing with a Riso duplicator - which operates like an automated screen printing process. A Japanese printing technology, Riso exists at the intersection of digital and analog printing techniques. With Riso printing, you can achieve a hand-printed look, quickly. The machine can print only one color at a time, and each print is slightly different looking. Riso is known for it’s vibrant ink colors and charming print imperfections. Riso is great for printing posters, flyers, art prints, menus, maps, folded cards, zines, and more. Still curious how Riso printing works? Learn more HERE.
