RISOGRAPH QUARTERLY SECOND INK INCLUDED

Printed matter
for the noise floor.

Signal Press is a small-run quarterly that treats the page like a press floor: visible grid, blunt headlines, mono tape labels, and one fluorescent ink shifted just out of register. Read it on screen, then hold the proof.

What lands on the page

01 — THE FORMAT
FMT·01

Exposed grid

Columns, gutters, and rule dividers stay visible. The page admits it was assembled — taped, pulled, and proofed.

FMT·02

One second ink

A single fluorescent plate — orange or acid lime — marks one idea per spread. Never a background wash, never a glow.

FMT·03

Overprint by hand

Plates misregister on purpose. Frames are square, borders are thick, and every block reads like a mounted poster.

THE PRESS · MANIFESTO · 03 NOTES

We keep the seams showing.

Most interfaces hide their construction behind seamless polish. Signal Press does the opposite. The masthead anchors the top, the feature well runs the centre, and a utility rail carries the controls — and you can see every one of them.

The look comes from real production: photocopy grain, registration marks, tape labels, and a second ink pulled slightly off-register. It reads as printed matter because it was built like printed matter.
