What is Risograph Printing?
Risograph printing is a type of digital printing that uses heat to burn an image into a master. When the image is burned into the master it creates an opening that functions as an image carrier. It works similarly to screen printing where liquid ink is pushed through a mesh, or in this case a master, in the shape of the image being printed. RISO printers print using spot colors made from soy inks which allows for fun color combinations, overprinting, printing bright colors on colored paper, and more. However, RISO inks never fully dry so it is important to consider how much ink is used in a design and how much time is allowed for drying between print runs. Our MF9450 prints two colors in one pass, but addiitonal color combinatons can be achieved by running multiple passes on press.
