What is Risograph Printing?

Risograph printing, often referred to as Riso printing, is a unique duplicator technology that combines the functionality of screen printing with the efficiency of digital printing. Originating in Japan, this eco-friendly process utilizes soy-based inks and operates through a stencil-based system akin to screen printing. The Risograph machine creates master stencils wrapped around ink-filled drums, which then roll over paper fed through the machine, transferring the ink onto the paper's surface. Known for its distinctive textured output and rich color saturation, Risograph is particularly effective for high-volume projects requiring one or two colors, such as zines, posters, and flyers.

At 1800 Printing, we harness the capabilities of Risograph printing to offer our clients cost-effective solutions for bulk print runs with a creative edge. Our expertise allows us to optimize this technology for vibrant and consistent results across various media types while maintaining environmental sustainability. We provide tailored advice on design adaptations suitable for Riso's unique color palette and textural effects, ensuring that each project stands out with its characteristic aesthetic appeal.
