Retro Riso: Who Says Print Has to Stay on Paper?

Bringing that retro riso vibe to the digital world! Made this risograph-inspired design on Photoshop—because who says print has to stay on paper? A Note on Risograph Printing  Risograph printing, often called “Riso,” is a unique, stencil-based printing process that combines elements of screen printing and photocopying, producing vibrant and textured prints. Developed by the Riso Kagaku Corporation in Japan in the 1980s, it was originally intended for high-volume, low-cost duplication. A Risograph printer creates prints by burning a master stencil of each colour layer, then pressing soy-based ink through the stencil onto paper. Each colour is printed one layer at a time, similar to screen printing. Risograph prints are known for their retro, imperfect look, with slight misalignments, bold colours, and textures that give each piece a handmade feel. These “happy accidents” are part of the appeal!
