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.

What a short run costs
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 |
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.
