What is Risography?
Risography is an environmental-friendly and sustainable graphic printing method performed with a digital stencil duplicator, characterized by bright colors. These colors are printed layer by layer, and can be reminiscent of screen printing or offset, but the ink is based on soybeans or rice and biodegradable. The Riso machine uses little electricity, as unlike other laser printers it does not need to heat up. Risography is a cost-effective method, which can produce quality prints without major financial burdens. Unlike toner-based printers, Riso printers are free from ozone emissions, toner particle emissions, silica dust and other air pollutants. Riso printers do not emit greenhouse gases.
Thank you to Sparebankstiftelsen DNB for making the project possible.
