Make One Color Risograph Art Prints

Bold Look + A Simple Art Statement
Get out your compass & focus on what's important! Using one color forces you & your viewer to see exactly what you intend without all the added fluff, noise, & fanciness of crazy colors.

By weeding down the color and paying attention to values one color prints will be understood across the room. Pairing with risograph's automatic grain and textures your work will have nothing to do but to stand out!

Try printing black and white photographs in new colors, or scanning in a tattoo stencil & printing in purple, or even duplicating cyanotypes or creating a faux blueprint! The ideas are as endless as your creativity when dealing with one bold color!
