Print up to 4 colours in a 90 minute session with assistance from print technician Mark Simmonds.

These sessions are ideal if you have a finished and realised project to print such as a poster, artwork edition, flyer, greetings card, zine. *

Choose from 7 riso colours and a range of uncoated paper stocks in studio, you are welcome to bring along your own uncoated paper too. You also have access to the studio’s guillotine, paper creaser, saddle stitch stapler, and wire binder.
