What is Risograph Printing?
Risograph printing is a stencil-based duplicating process that produces vivid, slightly textured prints with characteristic ink overlap and registration variation. Each print is unique due to the analog nature of the process. Hi-Bred prints its own work in-house on a risograph machine, typically using 2 to 3 ink colors on high-quality ivory vellum paper.
Shop
