The Riso printer was originally intended to be used like a photocopier in establishments like schools and churches.  The unique, slightly messy (in a good way) print quality and introduction of bright inks, are a match made in heaven for artistic printmakers.

Printmakers will tell you that they love a happy accident, and Risograph printing means designing to avoid, but ultimately embracing a certain amount of tread, needle and smudge marks.  You don’t get the vibrant smack in the face fluoro inks, and interesting colour blends with any other print method. Riso printing is not for everyone, it’s a special members club and if you know, you know *winks*.
