What is a risograph?

A stencil printer that prints one spot colour at a time from a drum. It is fast for short runs and gives a soft, grainy finish.

How many copies is worth it?

From about 25 copies. Each colour needs a new master, then every copy is cheap, so the price per copy drops quickly.

Can you match an exact colour?

No. We print with the inks on our drum shelf; choose from the spot colour library or ask for the printed swatch card.

Why are my colours slightly out of line?

Each colour is a separate pass through the machine, so layers can shift a little. Design with a bit of overlap and it becomes part of the look.

Can I touch the prints straight away?

Riso ink takes a while to settle on the paper. We let every run dry before packing it.

Can I return a print?

Unused shop prints and zines can be returned within 30 days; custom print runs cannot (sample policy). Your local consumer rights still apply.

How are prints packed?

Flat between card in a stiff envelope; larger posters are rolled in a tube (sample).

Which payment methods do you accept?

Card payments and the wallets shown at checkout (sample). Your payment details are handled by the payment provider.

Print service calculator

Find your size and number of copies. Prices are for two colours on natural 100 gsm paper; each extra colour is another pass through the machine.

Size, 2 colours	25 copies	50 copies	100 copies	250 copies
A6 postcard	$28	$36	$48	$80
A5 flyer	$34	$44	$60	$105
A4 print	$42	$56	$78	$140
A3 poster	$58	$78	$110	$210

Example prices (sample). One colour costs about 30% less; each extra colour adds about 30%.

How we price (sample): a new master is made for every colour, then each copy is cheap. That is why 100 copies cost little more than 50.
