Risograph

Print it loud, in three inks.

Risograph runs your zine, gazette or poster on a real press: saturated spot inks pulled over warm stock, with the misregistration left in on purpose.

From 9ยข a pull. Proofs are free.

One sheet, three passes through the press.

No CMYK, no four-colour smoothness. Each ink is its own plate, and the character comes from where they don't quite line up.

Pull the pink

The first fluorescent plate lays down the loud layer, the one that carries the run.

Shift in the blue

The blue plate goes down a few millimetres off-register, so edges grow a coloured halo instead of a grey shadow.

Let it overprint

Where yellow crosses blue the seam multiplies to green, and where pink crosses blue it goes violet. Depth from ink, never from an outline.

A fourth colour you never mixed.

Violet isn't an ink we load. It only exists where the pink plate and the blue plate overlap and multiply, so every overprint is a small proof that the press did its job.

Pink plus blue makes violet
