Risograph Workshop
Risograph printing is a fading art form. At Printroom Rotterdam, the mission is to keep it alive by making it accessible to both the local community and visiting creatives.
I had the chance to join a poster-making workshop there, guided by just one simple rule: use only two colors to design a standard-sized poster.

What is Riso Printing?
Risograph printing can be described as a form of “digital screen printing.” While the process closely resembles traditional screen printing, it offers the ease and efficiency of an office copier. It is celebrated for its vibrant colors, which are often unachievable with standard printers—and its distinctive textures. Risograph machines embrace “perfect imperfections,” making them an affordable and accessible way to produce large quantities of work such as prints, posters, invitations and zines.
