How does a Riso work?
The Riso feeds paper under the ink drum as it rotates, and ink is pushed out through the stencil to create an impression.

The Riso internally creates a stencil that is laid onto a drum filled with ink which then spins at high speed, forcing the ink through the stencil onto the paper.

How do I prepare a RISO print?
Your files should be separated into individual black & white images for each color that is to be printed. This is similar to preparing files for screen printing. 100% black in each color layer, will print out as 100% of whichever color you are printing.
