Risograph Printing
An amazing print method for artists and small business owners.
Its vibrant and unique spot colors (non-CMYK) are reminiscent of letterpress, serigraph and offset printing methods but cost a fraction of the price, especially at volume.
Riso is great for art prints, stationery, mailers, brochures, certificates, menus and more

Optimized for Full Color Printing
We have carefully chosen our initial color set to maximize the amount of CMYK-adjacent color combos available. We like to print with 3 colors because it’s fun to blend these Riso inks, but if you want the most contrast or need legible text, we recommend adding black as well. Message us and we’ll help you get set up with exactly what you need for your print job.
But 2 Color Printing is Just Great
Full color is lovely but 2 color printing is where Risograph shines. The transparent inks of the Riso machine allow for beautiful overlapping colors with lots of depth. We can print 28 different 2 color combos with our 8 ink colors, so please refer to the above diagram to see which colors offer what you need for your project.
