About Risograph Printing
Here's what we love about the Riso and the art we're able to make with it:
The entire process is eco-friendly. Instead of harsh chemicals to burn and wash the screens, the Riso burns its screens in a similar way as a scanner. Plus the 200-pound machine itself is Energy Star rated for the miniscule amount of energy it requires to print even the largest runs. And the ink is soy-based so it's clean to the touch and even the drums are easily recycled.
Quality and quantity. We can print way faster with a Riso than we can on our etching press or screen printing presses. But each image retains a hand-made feel (thanks to the soy-ink and the retro technology). As such, there are some variations in the ink saturation of each print. We only include the highest quality prints in each edition, but discerning eyes may experience small differences in ink rolls or color saturations between prints.
