A Risograph print guide designed & curated by Dizzy Ink.

05. DENSITY

The darker something is in your file, the more ink the Riso will put down.

The same principle works for every ink colour. This is useful for creating shades and variation from a single ink colour. You don't necessarily need another ink just because you want a lighter version of a colour.
