Welcome to the fourth annual SUPERNOVA Community Riso Showcase! This exhibition showcases Risograph prints created at Nova Community Arts this year. These pieces were all printed at our studio, and showcase the work of our growing Risograph community including Nova’s students, guest instructors, and studio volunteers.
Risograph Printing is a unique method of printmaking that is rapidly gaining popularity in the art world. Invented in Japan in the 1980’s, the Risograph Duplicator was originally meant as an efficient alternative to office copy machines. In recent years, it has been embraced by the printmaking community for its rapid printing abilities, vibrant colors, and environmentally friendly soy-based inks. The Riso uses a proprietary system of inks that allow for unusual colors beyond the usual CMYK. Our studio has a RZ 390UI Risograph Duplicator, with 10 color drums - scarlet, fluorescent pink, fluorescent orange, sunflower, light lime, kelly green, mint, blue, orchid, and black.
