PrintAbout RISO Art Printing
Risograph
RISOGRAPH is a high-speed digital printer which operates using the principle of stencil printing. A master is created for each color and wrapped around the machine's internal drums, then paper is passed through for printing. In the art world, the overlapping of color and distinctive smearing and character this method produces are appreciated. Plate making and printing are so easy anyone can do it, and small-scale printing of materials such as books and zines can be achieved at a low cost.

Cautionary points
The following are precautions for carrying out printing. Please confirm the information before using the facility.
01
Ink Drying
Even after the ink has dried for plenty of time after printing, rubbing may get ink on your fingers. In addition, please be aware that stacking printed materials on top of each others can cause ink from one piece of paper to rub off onto another.
02
Printing in Three or More Colors
RISOGRAPH can be used to print up to two colors per feed. For this reason, paper must be passed through twice to print three or more colors. The ink from the first printing must be dry before the paper can be fed through again, so this process is time-consuming.
03
Full-Page Dense Color Printing
RISOGRAPH is not well-suited to full-page dense color printing. If you want to use the system to print this kind of material, we recommend adjusting the data to reduce color density to K80 or K90%.
Please be aware that printing with dense ink covering large areas makes smudging more likely to occur.
04
Color Unevenness, Rubbing, and Master Slippage
RISOGRAPH does not print art with a uniform finish like offset printing. The more colors you use, the more likely master slippage will occur, along with rubbing and color unevenness. These differences from one printing to the next are part of the appeal of art printing, so please enjoy them.
05
Files Preparation

06
Trim marks and bleed area
When you need to cut the paper after you print, please make trim marks. If the artwork extends to the edge of the trim line, it will need to extend past the trim line to the outer edge of the bleed area. If you have any questions about data preparation, please contact our staff in the store.
07
Printed Material Storage Service
You can keep your artwork at the store after printing. Please check with our staff in advance if you wish to use this service. The storage fee is from 300 yen (tax not included) for one week. We can also ship your prints when they are dry.
*If there is no space in the storage area, we will not accept your request.
*Cost can varies depending on the number and size of sheets.
*Please check with our staff for shipping costs.
08
Workspace
A workspace with a desk inside the store can be used to prepare printing data and manuscripts. Stationery and restroom facilities are also available for your use. We also offer printing consultations with printing samples, so please feel free to visit us.
09
Bringing your paper or purchasing paper
Some papers are not compatible with our RISOGRAPH printer so if you bring your own paper, please be sure to check with our staff beforehand.
*We do not sell plain paper.
*We do not print on envelopes or bags.
