What is Risography?

RISO is the name of both a printer and ink company from Japan. 

Noboru Hayama started his company in post-war Japan (in 1946), calling it RISO. It means 'ideal' in Japanese, a poetic name that Hayama chose as he found it important that people should not lose their ideals in this period of despair.

Riso is a mechanical process similar to screen printing; the printer creates a stencil wrapped around a ink filled drum which then spin to transfer impressions on.

My printing is all done locally by an amazing printer

who prints on recycled paper using environmentally friendly soy based inks.
