What is Play Play Play?

What is risograph printing?

A risograph (or riso) printer looks very much like an everyday photocopier, the kind you’ll find in a library, college or office. However, through the unique mechanics and quirks of the process, riso prints are rich in colour and texture – similar to analogue silkscreen printing. It’s a process suited for limited edition prints, posters, zines, greetings cards, flyers, booklets, and postcards.
