RISO Lab 2
FaVU-RIS2Acad. year: 2021/2022
Risograph is relatively widespread, but in recent years an increasingly popular high-speed digital printing system based on stencil printing has been similar to screen printing technology. Although the machine is very similar to a copier, it works completely differently. It has gained popularity around the world among low-cost printing due to its relatively low acquisition costs, cheap operation, speed, and interesting print quality. It has become a popular printing technique for original prints and posters. Students will gradually, theoretically, and practically, get acquainted with the printing technology on Risograph. They will receive the necessary information about the differences between different printing technologies. They will learn to work with ways to create templates and operate the Riso EZ 571E printing machine. The course also includes basic work with Adobe Photoshop software, where students will learn to create a template from the image template for trapping four colors, and Adobe InDesign, where they will deepen their skills in preparing and exporting a document for printing on Risograph. The main goal of the course is to support students' creative activities in the field of creating low-cost original prints and publications, as well as assistance in their artistic development.
