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

Corners Printing is a printing shop specializing in printing resources run by Design Studio Corners based in Seoul since 2012. 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.
