What is risograph printing?

Risograph printing is a boutique print process also known as "digital screen printing." It’s based on the same concept as traditional screen printing, where ink passes through tiny holes in a stencil that has been burned with an image.

A risograph machine uses rice paper stencils wrapped around large ink drums to create luminous, loosely registered prints with a delightfully retro feel.

We print with a palette of ten ink colors, each requiring its own dedicated ink drum. The limited color palette creates consistency across the line while offering plenty of variety.

Our two-drum model riso machine allows us to print two colors in one pass. It's important to highlight the imperfect nature of riso printing, where slight misregistration between colors and variances in ink density across swaths of ink are to be expected—nay—embraced.

The best parts about shopping with us

Speedy shipping

Our fulfillment partner in Lorton, VA expertly ships in as little as 1–3 business days. A team of professionals receives all the orders to carefully pick, pack, and ship to you faster than you can say "Oops I gave you the wrong address." Literally!

We try and stay on top of inventory levels but sometimes things are more popular than anticipated. If something is out of stock, you can typically expect a restock within a month.

In the meantime, feel free to sign up for a Back In Stock email alert on the product page to automatically get a notification when it is back in stock.

Small Batch & Eco-Friendly

We manufacture in-house at a human scale with eco-friendly paper and ink.

Unlike other commercial printing processes that use petroleum-derived inks, riso inks are mainly vegetable-based, made from soy or rice bran in combination with water and pigment.

We proudly print on Michigan-based French Paper's FSC-certified, 100% recycled stocks. French is one of the oldest paper mills left in the USA, still making their paper with hydropower from the St. Joseph River.

We aim to reduce plastic use whenever possible. Cards are packaged in commercially compostable eco sleeves for retail, while notepads come completely plastic-free with just paper belly bands.

Louie Award-Winning

Bromstad Printing is honored to have won two Louie Awards, the highest honor in the North American greeting card industry. The Louies recognize excellence in greeting card design and are awarded by a panel of judges comprised of card publishers, retailers, and reps in the stationery world.
