a risograph print start to finish!

Filmed and Edited by Dirt Hands
We're turnin' hand drawn illustrations on tracing paper into a Risograph print! I thought i'd bring you along for the process and do my best (although, nervous) voice-over guide! Been doing some experiments lately on the riso to see different textures and markings that i like. I ended up really digging how colored pencil shows up and was inspired to make a print. Let me know what ya'll think in the comments 🧡 To learn more about Print St Pete follow them on insta @printstpete !
I record using a Sony HX80, an Akaso EK7000, and my iphone 12.

Could I get the same effect using my printing machine by just selecting a different ink for each layer? Thanks for your video!

[@dirthands]

Hey there, are you referring to a printer like an inkjet? For the riso's shown in this video they each have one drum of color at a time which is why its done in layers.

[@kioku618]

From Riso prints I've seen they have some really intense looking pigments most printers don't really have. Also I think this is closer to stamping than printing with a printer so really does have a different look.

[@TheDudeway]

I don't get it. "My Riso has a black drum and a blue drum." So how did you print orange than ? 🤔

[@dirthands]

Hey! So my machine has those two drums, however there is another riso machine at the shop that i used for the orange :)

[@TheDudeway]

@@dirthands Hell, this makes sense I guess. I first could not handle your process but now "boom" I got it

[@TheDudeway]

@@dirthands Do you need a different drum for each color or can you just change the ink inside a drum ?

[@dirthands]

@@TheDudeway Its easiest to have different drums for different colors, you could clean the drum in between colors but its quite the task to take it completly apart to clean and put back together. Hope that helps!

[@TheDudeway]

@@dirthands have you ever tried? I mean without cleaning ? What will happen ? I just got n old school riso rp 3100 ep, one 🥁 and I was wondering...

[@annanuss2041]

Girl where is the file prep you just jumped past that completely

[@dirthands]

Hi, i didn’t do the file method, this is an older riso so i drew my image analog and the riso scans it from the bed.
