A must have resourse for making 1 color risograph prints
Sometimes you just need to see and FEEL a color before ordering prints. This book has all 11 of our colors for our antique 1992 Risograph printer and one instruction page for new artists to get familiar with how Risograph prints & the limitations that come with it.
This book was the culmination of 8 months of planning and 5 years of rebuilding a Japanese printer from 1992. Through constant repairs and rebuilds we designed this book to showcase our ink collection & how each ink prints. Illustrated & designed in house to show the full range of 1 color Risograph printing.
Every book is individually hand numbered & is slightly different from the next. With a random selection of up to 5 cover papers, variance in Riso print errors, Riso grain, & vibe. You will have a unique and collectable book for your home or design library.
*Only 60 books produced - Once they are gone they’re gone forever*
