Riso [Ree-so] printing is a fun and eco way to get things printed. It works like a digitized screen print. The Risograph machine takes an image and creates a master by creating tiny holes on a filmy sheet. This is then wrapped around a drum. the drum contains ink, which when it spins it is forced through the tiny holes and prints on to the paper.

You need to create a different master for each colour you want to print. You can layer colours to create depth of images/new colours.

It’s a no heat printing method and inks used are soy based.
