How does a RISO printer work?
The Riso feeds paper under the ink drum as it rotates, and ink is pushed out through the stencil to create an impression. On our Riso, two colors are printed at a time, and multicolored prints are made by switching out drums, then printing over each layer. The paper passes through the machine multiple times.
What is risograph printing technology?
The RISO works by transforming your black and white artwork into a stencil. Your chosen colour drum is then inserted into the riso machine, and the stencil is wrapped tightly around it. Paper is fed flat through the machine, passing under the rotating drum, which prints your artwork onto the paper at high speed.
Is Risograph printing expensive?
Risograph is our most affordable style of printing, allowing for a balance between budget and quality that other modes of printmaking simply cannot provide.
