^{riso des bois}

Riso des bois is an artist-run riso printing studio in the Belgian Ardennes.

Our risograph machine is a 2-drum MZ1070E called MzMenzies.

We print your projects on A3 Metapaper extra rough recycled 150gsm white. Please contact us to discuss using different papers.

We can also run introductory courses - see the courses page for more info!

Risograph is a unique printing process straddling the divide between printing by hand and machine-printing, and is best described as screenprinting with a photocopier. Its bright inks made from rice bran oil and the low-energy cold printing onto uncoated (usually recycled) paper not only give it a very distinctive look but also make it a really sustainable and environmentally friendly printing process, prized by artists, illustrators and designers.
