Riso-printing: Faux CMYK & custom color profiles

January 11th 
12-2.30 and 3-6pm
max. 6 participants

Learn how to print a Riso-reproduction of your photograph or scanned original artwork (paintings, drawings, collages etc.) in the Faux-CMYK technique.

What will I learn?
You will learn how to print with the Riso from digital files, get an introduction into simple color-separation, halftones, angles and how inks mix together.
In the second (optional) part of the workshop you will learn how to create custom color profiles. Custom color profiles can highlight special characteristics of your artworks and take your final prints from a reproduction to a new artwork which highlights the color range of Risography.

Who is this for?
For people wanting to make reproductions of their photography / original art and or who are interested in spot color printing and unique color profiles.
