Work with talented local printmaker, artist book-maker, and risograph expert, Dustin Brinkman, to master the essentials on our analogue Risograph RZ390ui printer. In this hands-on session, you'll learn how to load paper, ink, and masters, navigate through troubleshooting and machine care, and learn how to adjust the Riso’s unique print quality for your artistic projects. Participants will take home 10 A4 prints made from collaborative collages and drawings done in session.
*This workshop is required for CPAC members who want to use the machine independently.
What is Risograph printing?
RISO prints are made with a Risograph printer. It looks like a photocopier, but works as a screenprinter; using rich spot colours and stencils to create tactile and vibrant prints, affordably and with little impact to our environment.
Risograph printing has been used for high-volume printing in places like schools & political parties for many years, but over the past decade, it has undergone a resurgence with creatives adopting the process because of its tactile and unique results!
