A cheerful A5 riso print of a purple beetle with fluorescent pink glow-in-the-dark eyes.
This print is made with three bright riso colors: aqua blue, yellow, and neon pink. It's printed on 250-gram biotop paper in A5 format. Each print is unique due to the riso printing technique used.
Riso print purple beetle A5
For each print I use a Japanese printing technique called riso printing. This technique uses an environmentally friendly and rice-based ink which results in the fluorescent and cheerful hues that bring the prints to life. Because each color is a separate layer that goes through the riso printer, the layer sometimes shifts and each print has its own unique texture and character, making each print original and just a little bit different. It is a sustainable and unique way of printing
One of the characteristics of riso prints is that they never dry completely. They always remain a little 'wet', but fortunately they do not smudge unless you really rub over the print. So be careful when handling the riso prints. If the print does show smudges, you can remove the riso ink with an eraser.
