About

Risograph or Riso printing is a unique form of high speed stencil printing, which is somewhere between lo-fi screen printing and hi-tech digital printing.

Riso printing is used for producing books, zines, flyers, posters and more. With Riso, each ink is printed one at a time. Colours rarely line up perfectly on top of each other. This is an inherent part of the process which makes every print unique, and gives Riso its distinctive look.

Riso is fast, relatively cheap and environmentally friendly. It allows you to make around 8000 prints per master.
