Risograph Ink Colours and Papers.
Riso colours don’t behave like standard CMYK — they’re printed one at a time in bold, semi-transparent layers, which means they can overlap to create exciting new hues and effects. Think of it like screen printing meets alchemy.
We currently stock the following Riso inks:
-
Marine Red – warm and punchy, like a sun-drenched cherry
-
Sunflower – golden, friendly, and full of glow
-
Violet – rich and dreamy with a regal edge
-
Light Teal – calm, cool, and quietly stylish
-
Fluorescent Pink – electric, punchy, and impossible to ignore
-
Fluorescent Yellow – highlighter-bright and bursting with energy
-
Green – classic and crisp, ideal for botanicals or bold contrast
-
Melon Orange – juicy and vibrant with a tropical twist
-
Aqua – fresh and zingy, like poolside pop
-
Blue – cool and classic, with solid coverage and subtle texture
