Equipment & Resources

RISOstudio

The Risograph printer is based on the stencil method of printing, which is much like screen printing. While the machine looks very much like a photocopier, it functions quite differently. Black & white artwork is sent to the Riso either from a connected desktop pc, or on the printer’s scanner. The image is ‘burnt’ on to a paper-like master, which can then be used to duplicate it up to thousands of times. The master wraps automatically around an ink drum. The ink is pushed through the screen/aster, and then prints onto paper that makes contact with the drum.
