Brilliant video thank you :) I was just about to ask what the point of things like riso and screen printing are when you can use digital prints, and then I saw your link in the description :D thank you
Pretty dang thorough video. This is only the second video I've watched on this printing technique that apparently I hadn't heard of until an art center here in Chicago posted they'd be bringing classes for it back.
This was the most informative video on risograph I've ever seen thank you so much!!!😭😭 I'm definitely going to look into your other videos because i want to get into risograph to make zines👀👀
1) Use the Riso FW5130 series, which is full color. Ink is very similar (I wouldn't be surprised of it's the same ink). It also does not use a master so no reason to refill masters or empty them. 2) Use at least once a day (twice a week minimum) as it is ink based and will clog up the holes and you'll need to call a tech to unclog them. 3) Try leaving the printed pages to dry before running it through the machine again to avoid roller Mark's in the second pass. There is no heating element (unlike copiers) so you have to let it air dry. 4) It is a high volume machine so if you're going to run fewer than 30 prints, you might as well use a copier as it is cheaper. 5) We're basically talking about a glorified ink jet printer so take similar cautions as you would an ink jet. 6) Risos are built around the ink and the guy who invented it said as much Therefore inks are very expensives.
Thanks so much for this very thoughtful comment! I will look into that machine, since I haven't heard of it before. I do always airdry for at least a half a day, a whole day if my deadlines permit me. :-) But the ink still smudges when there's heavy coverage, and sometimes artists just spray fixative on the prints tbh. It's true that the riso becomes more cost effective as volume goes up, for sure!!! Thank you again for the comment!!
I'm interested in your comment. I was just sitting here wondering how in the world this process could possibly compete with either inkjet or laser, both of which register perfectly and dry completely on a wide variety of papers, including coated grades. Olivia says in the video that she can only use uncoated paper, the ink never really dries, her customers some times get ink on their hands from her finished product, she has trouble with tracking marks, and registration is not guaranteed. How is that "far superior"? (Full disclosure - I am retired from nearly 40 years in the printing industry, both offset lithography and letterpress.) This is not meant as any kind of negative comment; I just don't understand.
It’s also non archival so if you want to make anything with permanence a Riso is not going to give you that the original intention behind the machine was to be able to make simple copies of things extremely cheap
Huh, this is really interesting. I keep seeing Riso being mentioned, but had no clue what it meant. It kind of reminds me of screen printing, with the registration marks. Really beautiful outcomes.
Thank you so much!! I'm planing on trying out the Riso tomorrow but I was kind of nervous.. This was really helpful and I'm super excited to use it! Also, I really like your style of explaining. Really clear and to the point thank you!
I thought the duster had something to do with the process lol. You explained very well the process. I finally now how this printing technique works. Thank you.
thank you very much. I have a friend who have a Riso. I found interesting what she does so i searched for info and got here. Very informative. Again, thank you.
I study at WashU and our professor played your video in class! They also pasted your link in our handouts/page and told us to watch your video if we haven't lol good job on the fabulous vid!
Oh my god I'm a bit embarrassed now about the low budget and chaotic quality of this video LOL!!! I'm glad it's somewhat helpful and I wish you and your classmates a lot of fun working with riso! I would love to see your projects link me hahahaha
Fantastic! This print process is new to me. I saw a beautiful two color riso print by an artist and was inspired to research the process. I love your video...you explained everything perfectly.
Saw this on tumblr and subscribed! You're so clear and informative and I didn't know about this kind of printing process before! Big zine dreams!!! Also your voice is very relaxing! Keep up the good work, support canadian printers!!!
You are Freaking Awesome. I was looking all over the tubes to learn about Riso machines... this video is way, way, way exactly what I was looking for!! great job!
!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR :-)!! all of my saves on pinterest have this texture and i’ve been wondering for weeks how prints like this are achieved. i’m a graphic design student so looks like it’s time to ask my department if we have one of these! thank you so much!!✨⭐️
I was wondering how a riso printer works and immediately found this video and it's everything, I enjoyed it very much and learned a lot so thank you!! Also I think you're funny 😄
Thanks for this video! It's very informative and your explanation made everything really clear. I'll look into riso when I finish making the zine I'm working on
Just came across a risograph print on insta and had to look it up. this was the first video i clicked. so helpful and entertaining i had to subscribe! also, probably because your filipino. Pindot ~ hahaha
Videos like this make me happy, as Riso is awesome, but also sad because mine is just sat gathering dust as 99% of my print jobs for people these days end up being best suited to laser and thus that is what I end up doing :(. It's the low number issue that you mention, people just want 1-5 of stuff they just don't 'get' it. My poor, poor riso :(. Superb video though :D, really explained it well. Perhaps I should just send potential clients and link to it to explain better than I do haha.
Hello! I only have a riso in my studio so I can't print laser. Most of the people who come to my studio want riso specifically so it works out! I will come out with another video soon explaining the main differences between laser and riso (once I get over this cold that I have), but please feel free to share this if you think it will help clients understand the process better! Thanks so much for your note!!
Great video, I love graphic art and printing. Also on my way to Indonesia 18 years ago, my plane made an emergency landing in Manilla. ha ha So I was in the airport....
Thank you for this very informative video! You said the ink lifts off the paper if you rub it too much - is there a way to seal it the way you would seal a more traditional medium like charcoal?
Very informative video! This is exactly what I was looking for. Which printer 2-color would you recommend for someone who wants to sell riso prints-the same one you have currently?
this is actually crazy, I use one of these machines in my print shop to make envelopes and letterhead, i had no idea that people use these for such complicated procedures.
Thank you very much Olivia for this in depth video on printing with the Riso printer. If this is okay with you, I would very much like to add translated subtitles so I can share this with my friends. At the moment this is not possible (says UA-cam) so maybe you can adjust a setting to allow custom translations of this video? Thank you very much and have a nice week.
CAN I PRINT ONE COLOR DOCUMENT ON A TWO COLOR RISO MACHINE. EXAMPLE I HAVE 1 BLACK DRUM AND 1 BLUE DRUM IN THE TWO COLOR MACHINE AND I AM PRINTING ONLY BLUE COLOR. WILL THE MACHINE SKIP THE FIRST BLACK DRUM AND BRINK ON THE SECOND BLUE DRUM. AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN T THE PREVIOUS MASTER ON THE FIRST BLACK DRUM IN CHAMBER ONE
Brilliant video thank you :) I was just about to ask what the point of things like riso and screen printing are when you can use digital prints, and then I saw your link in the description :D thank you
Thank you!!
No point, offset is way cheaper and faster for large batches. At this point only artists use Riso it's hard to fake the analog effects digitally
I like how you're just swishing duster around
I use it to dust the riso and also it made me feel less awkward weirdly!!!!
Ha! Totally! The way I was going to put it was, "I like the way you use your duster as a wand!"
Pretty dang thorough video. This is only the second video I've watched on this printing technique that apparently I hadn't heard of until an art center here in Chicago posted they'd be bringing classes for it back.
This was the most informative video on risograph I've ever seen thank you so much!!!😭😭 I'm definitely going to look into your other videos because i want to get into risograph to make zines👀👀
Your voice is very soothing and this process is really cool. You should make a second info video on how the masters are created!
1) Use the Riso FW5130 series, which is full color. Ink is very similar (I wouldn't be surprised of it's the same ink). It also does not use a master so no reason to refill masters or empty them.

I have been a Tech for Riso Machine's for 20 yrs and I can say if you understand how a Riso works , we are far superior to all technology to date!
I wish I knew more technical stuff!

love this overview! I learned so much and it was a blast watching and listening to you! The duster was crucial.
I have only just found out about risograph and this video has made me very excited to learn more about this form of printing!
That's great!! Thanks for the comment!

Hii lol i have a video talking about this: ua-cam.com/video/Nh9TgMDy1kA/v-deo.html

Great vid Olivia! Awesome to see some Riso content popping up on youtube. happy printing from housework(press) !!
joe T Thanks!! I definitely want to create more resources soon since I've been getting so much support to do it!!
So interesting! I didn't know how complicated riso printing was, I had thought it was just like laser printing.
Thanks! There's definitely a lot of finessing and work involved to try to get it as close as possible to the artist's intention. :-D
Thanks so much for this - I love your thoughtful approach and style!!
Thanks! Very informative! Also approve of the duster gestures.
Good explainer! I saw a bunch of cool riso prints on Etsy and was curious what the machine was that made them and now I know.
This was so incredibly informative!! Thank you so much, will be checking out your website too, very cool
Thanks!!
At my college we have an off brand riso and this info is super valuable thank you for this video!
Thank you!
Good to learn something new, thank you Olivia.
The right info delivered thoroughly and clearly, salamat po!
Ahh salamat!! Glad it helped!!
Love you. Nice explanation

What an attractive woman explaining in her style...very informative too!
Hahaha stoppppp
Super informative, covered everything I wanted to know. Awesome!
Thank you!!!
I had no idea what a risograph was before watching this video and now I want two
Haha! See if there is a studio in your area lol!!!
Wow, this is a fantastic explanation. Thank you very much! What an amazing machine.
Awesome Olivia! Thanks for sharing! Just wondering if I can use the riso print INK for screen printing?
Thank you! Tell me about your printer model. Also any tips on getting one on a deal or places to shop for one?
Great video, I love graphic art and printing. Also on my way to Indonesia 18 years ago, my plane made an emergency landing in Manilla. ha ha So I was in the airport....
This was veeeery helpful, I liked how you explained it! :) Thank you
Thank you so much for this video. It is wonderful and makes me so excited to learn more! Which model of riso do you use?
Thanks! Please see this video for the answers to this and other questions you may have: ua-cam.com/video/v7AyM4EMWwM/v-deo.html
Your explanations were cristal clear ! Thanks you for sharing :)
Thank you so much for this great video! Really useful
But what model is this machine?
Super helpful and insightful! Thank you!
You have such a soothing voice and tone, and super funny that you're waving a duster hahaha
Omg the gaalee art on that one page 🥹
Great video. Just got a Riso and this is an awesome resource
Thanks!!
you explained it quite detail. Thank you!
"So this is a whole bag of masters that I've used up"
aap se bat karnee hay
Great overview of the RISO process. Thanks.
Thanks!!
Cool. Am waiting delivery of a new Riso and your videos are very useful
Thats pretty exciting! Good luck!!

Ahh thank you!!
Thank you for this very informative video!
You said the ink lifts off the paper if you rub it too much - is there a way to seal it the way you would seal a more traditional medium like charcoal?
I can test it and let you know in my next video
@@kitetsustation Thank you very much!
Very informative video! This is exactly what I was looking for. Which printer 2-color would you recommend for someone who wants to sell riso prints-the same one you have currently?
I have some information about this here: ua-cam.com/video/v7AyM4EMWwM/v-deo.html
Do you need to buy "cylinders" for every colour or can you pull a black ink tube out of the cylinder and put an orange tube in?
Please see this video ua-cam.com/video/v7AyM4EMWwM/v-deo.html. I am hoping it answers your question sufficiently.
This was such a wonderful informational video!! 💗
Thanks so much!!!
this is actually crazy, I use one of these machines in my print shop to make envelopes and letterhead, i had no idea that people use these for such complicated procedures.
The more you know😉
I love the imperfections of riso :)
Interesting process, thanks for sharing.
Amazing! Thanks to Novum, I discovered Risograph. I liked the illustrations at 6'12". Is the book being sold? What's the name? Thanks.
Very helpful, thanks for the tutorial 💛
Fascinating and very nicely presented
Thank you!!
Just learned about it today, thank you for this video
Np!! Glad it helped!!
True eye opening over here. Thank you!
No need to be racist

Thank you very much Olivia for this in depth video on printing with the Riso printer.
If this is okay with you, I would very much like to add translated subtitles so I can share this with my friends.

The word " Riso" means " rice" in Italian.
I was looking for a "riso" recipe, youtube suggested this to me, LOL!
Watching it anyway, interesting!
Omg haha!!! I hope you found the recipe and thanks for watching!!!
does anyone know how long riso prints are rated to last since they are non-archival?
Great video very informative, where could I order Riso Risograph RA Color Drum Black Ink?
Please and thank you
Hi thanks! Please try a printer dealership. Sorry I am not a riso salesperson!
