#Risograph Printer

New print shop coming THIS SPRING! I fell in love with risograph printing a few years ago and last year, had the idea launch the first independent riso print shop in Montana. If you like screen printing, you’ll love risograph. The inks are vibrant and the texture the machine produces is soo yummy. Each color is printed separately and layered together to allow the colors below to peak through. I’m seriously obsessed. If you’re an artist who’s interested in having your work printed with this unique method, follow along and keep an eye out for the new brand launch this spring. #risograph #printmaking #printshop #risography #illustration

Riso printing comes with a million issues and struggles, but I love it ✨ #graphicdesign #risograph #risoprint

I know I’ve been sharing a lot more about our personal lives lately but we’re still Riso printing over here! #risograph #risoprint

1. Some say it’s like a hybrid between photocopying and screen printing: Risograph printing uses a stencil-based system similar to screen printing but with an automated process. It creates prints by forcing ink through a mesh screen onto paper, which is different from traditional inkjet or laser printers. It was actually modeled after the mimeograph! 2. Riso uses vegetable-based inks: Unlike traditional printing methods that rely on petroleum-based inks, risographs use vegetable-based inks, which are more eco-friendly and give the prints a unique texture and finish. 3. It’s a high-speed, efficient print process: Risograph printers are known for their speed and efficiency in large-volume print runs. They are perfect for projects that require many copies quickly, such as zines, posters, or newsletters, enabling small press publishers to get their art and ideas out there! 4. Unique color options: Risograph printers use a set of predetermined colors that are actually separate inks. This creates a unique and vibrant aesthetic that you can’t always achieve using traditional CMYK colors. Mixing these riso spot colors manually can produce interesting results and can be more flexible and expansive than other printing methods 5. Riso has a distinct “grainy” texture: Due to the way the ink is applied through a stencil, risograph prints often have a textured, slightly imperfect look. This gives the print a handmade feel that many people find appealing, with every print being a little unique from the last! #risograph #riso #risography #risoprinting #risoprint #smallpresspublishing #zines #comics #printmaking #printmakers

I was recently gifted this old Print Gocco Riso machine. It essentially uses flash bulbs to burn a carbon image into a screen that you can then make prints from. Here are my first prints! #riso #prints #art #fish

A small introduction to Risograph printing for those who are new to this fantastic process! The machine is very energy efficient and only uses soy-based inks, as well as being high speed and producing beautifully tactile results. We ❤️ the Riso! #riso #risoprinter #risograph #smallbusiness #ecofriendly #energyefficient #greetingcards #printshop

It’s been a while since I got my hands on paint and made my table messy again. First time trying Riso Gocco, a compact Japanese screen-making machine🍥 I actually received it as a gift a couple of years ago, thank you so much my dear friend @heymish_studio @poqor9 Wheww, I finally got the chance to try it! After 4 failed attempts and a bit more magic from my friend (she sent me extra paint and master screens because I ruined the first four… oops), and…VOILA✨ These past few days were pure fun and chaos. Exactly the creative juice I needed, and a little break from my laptop and iPad. Result coming soon! #riso #risoprint #risogocco

We want this press! Check out this awesome clip by @kakuta_gigado — #くるくるプレス機 は#活字 は使えません #テキン が欲しい人の代替機ではありません と、あえて強調することもないのですが（笑） #樹脂版 や#マグネシウム版 が使えます 強い圧で#凹ます印刷 ができます。 動画では#ハーフエア という厚さ0.5ミリの 紙を使っています #シヤチハタいろもよう を使ってます #おうちでレタープレス が楽しめます #名片設計 #名刺デザイン #名刺を刷る #名刺を刷る #ワンダーカッツ #ワンダーカッツをカスタマイズしてみた #letterpress

I’ve been Riso printing for a looooong time simply because I LOVE IT. It’s like a cross between screen printing and photocopying, making little dots of bright coloured ink in pure layers of colour. I don’t do it myself, no way, not when there are actual professionals out there. I use: • @16tonne near Bristol • In the past used the brilliant @marctheprinters when I lived nearer Manchester. • @footprintworkerscoop are excellent as is • @risottostudio in Glasgow. I have used all of those above and hear great things about • @ceciliepress in London too Make sure to buy the wonderful Riso Print guide from @designfortoday by @bethizattt to learn more about this beautiful way to make bold, affordable prints! #riso #risograph #risographprint #louiselockhart #theprintedpeanut
