Risograph Printing

Stencil printing is a porous printing technique similar to that used by mimeograph machines, which were developed to allow reproduction of multiple copies of the same image or text, and semi-automatic rotary mimeograph machines. Duplicating machines that have adopted the digitization of porous printing techniques and thus offer a simpler and faster process are digital stencil duplicators; they are known as Risograph in reference to the brand of digital stencil duplicators manufactured by Riso Kagaku Corporation that are commonly used around the world. The technology is somewhere along the line between screen printing and offset printing, producing bright and clear colors and finishing textures that are unique to Risograph.

About Corners

We currently use two 2-color printing machines, MZ 970 with 29 drums, and one A2 printing machine, A2 Riso with 13 drums. We have been experimenting with various printing types and finding suitable paper for risograph printing to improve the quality of outcomes. We sometimes hold events such as open studios, workshops, and exhibitions for those who have not experienced the printing technique.

Barbarian Calendar 2024 – STRIKE!

일본 히로시마를 기반으로 활동하는 Institute of Barbarian Books가 제작한 2024년 캘린더입니다. A4 크기, 리소 4가지 잉크를 사용해 제작되었으며, Momoe Narazaki의 그림 12장이 수록되어 있습니다.

···

This year, we wanted to try something a little different with our annual calendar. Even though most of our time is spent isolated around the farm, we’d like to acknowledge the inspiration we feel from workers across the planet who continue to struggle for autonomy and liberation from the capitalists. 2023 was full of stories of working class people and labor unions in all industries around the world seizing their power to strike and demand a better life.

Taking these actions as a starting point, we decided to try and shine a light on some historic strikes that we find particularly inspiring. We are not historians or activists, and our tendency towards anarchism and English have undoubtedly biased the twelve stories we chose to illustrate.

We wanted to pick relatively well known incidents over a reasonable time period since there are more sources we could draw from. We presented a few cases where even though the strikes played an essential role in the overall action, they were a part of a larger and more complex movement. We took creative liberty in the illustrations, and they should not be taken as literal depictions of the events. Finally, the strikes are presented chronologically by year starting with January.

In solidarity with workers everywhere!
