Riso A3 Poster - Paperbound Festival

  • Riso Pop 36 Krugerstraat Amsterdam, NH, 1091 LH Netherlands (map)

This workshop is for those who would like to learn how to translate their digital work (being illustration or design) to riso prints. You will learn how to create a poster that will take the maximum advantage of riso printing, and also how to work on your files to make them ready for print.

Note: we will not be looking at CMYK or faux CMYK - that is another workshop :)

How will the workshop look like?
50/50 Home & Studio

Part I: Introduction & 2 different ways of preparing your files for riso. 

A well before the workshop you will get access to a workshop page which will have pre-recorded videos to guide you through the steps of creating an illustration/design specifically for riso.

I will show you:

  • my tips & tricks,

  • what to keep an eye on,

  • working on your files and transforming them into the proper output for the riso printer.

You then get a week to work on your design & ask for feedback per mail.

Part II: Let’s meet at the studio and print!

On Wednesday 26th of October, we meet in person at the studio, where you will print your design on A3 format. I wil show you how to hades the print driver and machine so you can do this yourself.

We close off by show off everybody's work!
