At first glance, the machine looks like an ordinary copy machine, but it is not!
The process is sort of a mix of screen printing and the old-fashioned stencil machine. You enter a black and white image and it comes out in one of the specific RISO colors, over which another image in another color can be printed, often with the characteristic “perfect” imperfections.
It allows you to create special work in edition (posters, cards, prints, zines…), relatively inexpensively and also environmentally friendly: it works with vegetable ink based on rice bran, it is energy efficient and does not use harmful substances.
For a tryout you can sign up for a RISO workshop
