Risograph Printing Issues




For my book, the plan was to have the pages risoprinted as it's cost-efficient which allows the cost of the book to stay lower so that my target audience students would be able to accessibly afford it and also the effect the ink provides is much more interesting for my project than digitally printing as it allows for the ink to layer ontop of each other which represents the idea of different visual information sharing a page.

However after emailing multiple shops and companies that provide a risograph service, the cost is too high and some advised against paying the amount for just a few publications therefore if this were to be professionally mass-produced, I would use a risograph printer as it would be cost-efficient at a large scale but not for a small project with multiple pages.

Moving forward I will have to explore ways of imitating risograph printing or creating the effect of information being layered in different ways.
