What is Risograph Printing?
Risograph (often shortened to "Riso") is a form of stencil printing that combines elements of screen printing with the speed and efficiency of modern (digital) technology. It uses a process similar to a mimeograph, where ink is pushed through a stencil (called a master) to create prints. The result is a vibrant, textured aesthetic that gives each print its own character.
Riso uses soy-based inks in bright, bold colors. The prints are often slightly imperfect which gives the artwork a unique feel. The technique is popular among artists, designers, zine makers, and independent publishers for its cost-effective and sustainable nature.

This workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to get acquainted more extensively with the Riso technique. The masterclass is given by Knust. You will learn (more) about the stencil printing technique and how you can translate your own work into a Riso print, consisting of multiple color layers.
The Riso machine is very suitable for making posters, zines and cards and stands out because of the deep, bright colors of ink. Stenciling or Riso is comparable to the screen printing technique, but works with oil-based inks. The machine prints one color per print run (similar to screen print). We have a duo color Riso machine which can print two colors per print run.
In this masterclass you will learn the ins & outs of stencil printing, so your are much more able to print at the studio yourself in the future!*
