Riso Art

In recent years, risography has captured the attention of

printers and artists, especially in independent and selfpublishing

circles, given the technical and visual qualities

it offers. Vivid spot colors, warm finishes and occasional

imperfections in uniformity and register are some of these

attractive features. The book begins by giving readers a brief

history of the Risograph while outlining the basic principles

of the printing process, teaching them artistic printing

techniques that will allow them to print with brighter, more

expressive colors. With profiles of notable printers, examples

of printed products and works from contributing print shops

and information about design studios and artists from around

the world, the book will broaden readers’ printing horizons and

illustrate the extensive variety of possibilities offered by this

relatively easy-to-use and fascinating technique.
