RISO PRINTING

RISO IS A DIGITAL DUPLICATOR. THE PRINCIPAL IS SIMILAR TO SILKSCREEN OR OFFSET, TO PRINT EACH COLOR THE MACHINE PRODUCES A MASTER AND WORKS WITH A VERY SPECIFIC SPOT COLOR RANGE UNIQUE TO RISO. IT WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED TO PRINT A LOT OF COPIES FROM THE SAME MASTER BUT BECAUSE ITS FINISHES AND AESTHETICS WAS RECLAIMED BY DESIGNERS, ILLUSTRATORS AND ARTISTS TO PRODUCE UNIQUE, AFFORDABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY PRINTS. BECAUSE THIS TECHNIQUE WAS CREATED WITH ANOTHER PURPOSE IN MIND, ITS USE, IN THIS ARTISTIC CONTEXT, IMPOSES SOME LIMITATIONS AND SOME PRINT FLAWS MAY OCCUR.

OUR COLORS

RISO HAS AN UNIQUE COLOR PALETTE, ALL COLORS CAN BE OVERLAYED TO GENERATE NEW COLORS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF METALLIC GOLD WHICH IS OPAQUE. YOU CAN ALSO WORK THE OPACITY OF EACH COLOR TO PRODUCE DIFFERENT COLOR VARIATIONS (10% - 100%). WE CURRENTLY ARE ABLE TO PRINT IN 11 DIFFERENT COLORS: BLACK, MEDIUM BLUE, BLUE, TEAL, GREEN, YELLOW, FLUORESCENT ORANGE, CRIMSON, RED, FLUORESCENT PINK & METALLIC GOLD.
