Free Riso Guide (PDF)

A simple & cozy midwestern guide to Risograph printing by BearBear. A beginner’s guidebook from screen to page.

This mini guide is a basic tool that overviews using the scanning bed, paper settings, Riso's quirky idiosyncrasies, and goes over two ways to separate a full-color file in Adobe Photoshop: using Layers or Channel Separation methods. There's a little section on choosing paper, the differences in bitmap settings, and additional helpful resources :-) Enjoy.
