What can you make with a risograph?

Art prints! Zines! Brochures! Fliers! Valentines! Cards! Invitations! Flash sheets! Cootie catchers! Calendars! Menus! Paper airplanes! and so so so much more.

Riso printing is a super fun, unique way to create colorful printed matter in high quantities! The process uses a stencil duplicator, which some people say reminds them of a cross between a copy machine and screen printing. It uses vegetable based inks that are slightly transparent when layered on top of each other, creating endless beautiful, eco-friendly color combinations!

This method of printing is charmingly imperfect. You can expect each print to be slightly unique, with the occasional misregistered layer, interesting color overlays and even tire tracks! We choose to accept these imperfections with love and know that nothing wonderful is without it’s flaws.
