Risograph printing starts by scanning an image and creating a stencil on a thermal plate. Ink is pushed through the stencil onto paper as it moves through a rotating drum, allowing for fast printing. For multi-color prints, the paper is run through the machine multiple times, creating slight variations and a unique look. Riso uses bright, vibrant inks, giving prints a distinct texture and aesthetic, unlike standard CMYK printing.
