My First Riso Print!
Added 2020-09-21 03:01:43 +0000 UTCHi guys, just a fun little update to let you know that I got some prints done of my Angel Crossing piece.
I've never worked with risograph printing before, and I felt it would be perfect for Angel Crossing because the somewhat soft and fuzzy quality would lend itself to the dreamlike effect of the image. I think they came out super well!
I'm not terribly familiar with how riso works, but I understand it's like a mix of a copy machine and screen printing. Colors are printed in layers, allowing for the slight mis-registration that creates a soft and handmade feel. This particular print uses 3 ink colors: black, yellow, and blue. To me it looks pretty similar to the original, though slightly faded. I had my prints done at Paper Press Punch here in Seattle, and they were great to work with!
I ordered 25 of these and hope to sell them at some point. Keep an eye out if you're interested!

They ask you to separate colors for booklets and more complex projects , but they kindly did it for me with my image. I specified the ink colors, sent them the png, and they took it from there!
