What is a risograph or rhizograph?
A risograph is a stencil-based printing technique of Japanese origin that sits on the border between the digital and analogue worlds. The technique has been used since the 1980s, mainly for fanzines, posters and publications. The machine works on a principle similar to screen printing: each colour is applied to the paper through a separate ‘mask’, so that the layers may slip slightly. The intensive inks are soy-based, making them more environmentally friendly than most forms of printing.
