Riso Print Checklist

Artwork Details

• Ensure the artwork is finalized and ready for printing.
• Specify the number of colours and provide a colour separation file, if applicable (e.g., each colour as a separate grayscale layer).
• Confirm file format (usually PDF or PSD or AI).

Print Size

• Specify the size of your final printed product (e.g., A4, A5, custom size).
• Indicate if the artwork has bleed or if full bleed printing is required.

Paper Details

• Select the paper type.
• Specify the paper thickness (e.g., 80gsm, 120gsm, 240gsm).

Print Quantity

• Clearly state how many copies you need.

Number of Pages

• For booklets or zines, mention the total page count, including the cover.

Binding and Finishing

• Specify the binding type (e.g., stapled, saddle-stitched, or loose sheets).
• Include finishing details like trimming, folding, or perforations.

Ink Colours

• Choose specific Riso ink colours (e.g., fluorescent pink, aqua).

Turnaround Time

• Provide your deadline and ask if it’s feasible.

Delivery

• Specify if you need the prints delivered and the location.

Budget or Special Requests

• Mention any budget constraints.

Having this information ready will help the printer provide a precise quotation and streamline the production process.

*** We DO NOT print hard copy Riso proofs. The Risograph printing process involves making masters (stencil) and colours layering work, each layer takes time ( dependent on area of ink coverage ) to dry before printing another. Hence, it is costly to print Riso proofs.
