Riso Swatches & Mode Tests
Edition One
This book is meant to serve both as an introduction to Risograph printing for artists and designers and as a sample book for colors that are currently available for use at TXTbooks Headquarters.
The project is not comprehensive in any way and is not even printed to the *best* level that true riso gods may desire (sorry, true riso gods).
Instead, the focus is more or less the out-of-the-box handling of riso with different colors, images, and profile settings to provide a base-level of reference, assuming there will be tweaks and proofs later in the print process for any given project.
Upon completion of the project, there is a lot we learned and could have done better or may seek to expand in the future. Expanding the color-interaction section and some more duotone and tritone color printing samples will be a focus in future iterations.
While it probably goes without saying, this project and its micro-details translate a lot more in person than on screen in the excerpted view above.
