Studio updates
Before you print
How long does a run take?
Most runs leave the studio within five working days of proof approval. Fluorescent inks add a day to dry.
Which files do you accept?
A PDF with one greyscale page per ink layer. We send a template with bleed and safe margins.
Can I print on coloured paper?
Yes: twelve recycled stocks, from bone white to kraft. Ask for the swatch book.
What if the colours drift?
Riso is never pixel-exact and layers shift by a millimetre. If a proof misses your intent, the second one is free.
Small runs, loud results.
Our zine sold out at the fair before lunch. We had asked for a clean two-colour run, and the proof showed the pink drifting a hair off the blue. We kept it. Readers now ask whether the misregistration is on purpose, and the answer is yes.

Before you send files
- One greyscale page per ink: black prints, white stays paper.
- Keep text above 7pt; fine hairlines fill in on the drum.
- Large flat areas of one colour can band slightly. That is the medium, not a fault.
