Print

Risograph printing by Bad Student in the Philippines ✷ For posters, zines, flyers, art prints, inserts, handouts, packaging experiments, weird ideas, and everything in between.

Riso is a digital stencil duplicator, that functions like a hybrid between photocopying and screen printing. Slight misregistration, texture shifts, roller marks, uneven ink density, and happy accidents are part of the process. Every print run comes out a little different, and that's part of the charm.

HOW-TO GUIDELINES

File size, resolution, color setup — everything to prep artwork the right way.
