Self-publishing workshop with risograph 




What is Riso?


The digital duplicator, also called risograph, from the japanese company RISO, is a unique “copy machine”. It combines the high speed of a copier and a silk screen like result. Printing one by one layer of color, with a color library ranging from flourescent to metallics.
Originally an office machine, and not really intended for the art market, the machine has quirks like challenging registration, smudging and not being able to print on anything other than bulky uncoated paper.  


Greener prints


The Risograph is also environmentally friendly with ink based on soy waste material from rice farming and using little power compared to other similar printers, and where digital laser print is melted plastic. That is also why your prints look shiny even on matt paper. We print mostly on Munken papers, produced in Sweden at one of the worlds most sustainable paper factories.

Make publications


We do not provide the full-service of assembling books, but our workshop is free to use for everyone that wants to work on their publication and we are here to help! We have the essentials: paper giljotin, staples in different colors and cutting boards.


Workshop

  If you are a group of 3–6 people that want to learn to print with riso, please send us a request and we will make a workshop based on what you want to know or try out with the risograph!


PAPER


The risograph can only print on uncoated paper, between 80–250gsm. We have a selection of different papers available, but you are also welcome to bring your own – as long as its uncoated and between the limits of paper weight. Recycled paper can have trouble absorbing the ink because it might contain fragments of plastic. 
We usually stock paper from Munken (usually Pure and Lynx) 


Machines at Pamflett


At Pamflett we got 2 Riso duplicators: 2-color A3+ format and 1-color B4 format! Both machine can print on A3 paper, but the print area is A3 and B4. We also have screen print maker Riso Gocco Pro 100 that make screen in approx 30 x 70 cm. 

NEW! We now also have a folding machine!
