RISO

RISO refers to a printing technology that uses a stencil-based process to produce high-speed, eco-friendly, and cost-effective prints. It operates by creating a stencil on a special master sheet, then forcing ink through the open areas onto paper. This method combines the qualities of digital printing’s speed and flexibility with traditional screen printing’s vibrant colors and durability. RISO printers are commonly used for bulk printing tasks such as newsletters, educational materials, and short-run publications. They are valued for their efficiency, lower energy consumption, and ability to handle large-volume jobs without sacrificing quality.
