From low-cost, high quality (and high speed) printing to their advanced eco credentials and a wide range of cost-reducing functions, RISO have designed their products to deliver a balance of benefits that provide ideal printing and duplicating solutions for offices and workspaces of all sizes.

1. Savings With RISO:

Energy Savings

RISO machines consume incredibly low amounts of power (between 700-1000 watt).

Functions including; Standby, sleep mode plus and automatic power shut-off allow users to schedule when their printers are powered on and off, thus saving on unnecessary power consumptions.

Ink Savings

With a smart auto-colour mode, RISO printers are able to minimise ink consumption when they detect the absence of colour. 



Paper Savings

Multi-up printing puts multiple pages onto a single printed page while the blank page removal function adds to these savings by reducing time, paper and overall running costs.

2. RISO’ Speed:

A conventional colour office printer will take around 25 minutes to print 1000 full-colour (single-sided) pages. A Riso printer is able to do it in less than 7 minutes. Equipped with high-capacity feeders and stackers allow for high-volume print runs to roll out unattended and uninterrupted.

3. Multi-Function Finishings:

From stapling and punching to booklet-making and folding, RISO printers do it all. Within each finishing function, you’ll find various options (like choices of one or two corner staples and 2/4 hole punchings.

4. Advanced Security:

RISO works with a PIN code so that only designated administrators can authorise confidential documents and view print jobs.

5. Designed For Users:

RISO printers are incredibly user-friendly and easy to operate. With LCD colour touch screens (much like those of a  tablet) giving you access to advanced, customisable settings. 

6. It’s in The Looks:

To put things plain and simply, RISO print jobs look good. Thanks to their newly developed ink technology, you can expect to see insanely high print qualities with improved black ink density as well as reduced ink see-through occurrences.

Risograph Digitial Duplicators:

What Are Risographs?
Risographs are digital duplicators (essentially modern-day mimeograph machines or stencil printers). These machines deliver ‘perfect imperfections’ and provide a cheap, environmentally conscious and easy method for reproducing work in large quantities (like posters, prints and zines).

How Do Risographs Work?

Best described as ‘digital screen printing’, Riso machines internally create a stencil that is then laid onto a drum (filled with ink) which spins at high speeds - forcing the ink through the stencil and onto the paper. This simple process produces uniquely textured prints that cannot be replicated.

What are Digital Duplicators Used For?

The distinct printing style of the Risograph does not guarantee perfection, which makes each piece unique. They work best for large jobs in single colours (where every image needs to be identical).

The Best Industries For Risographs: 

• Schools 
• Clubs
• Churches 
• Artistic
• Colleges 
• Political

Risograph Advantages:

RISO duplicators are recognised for their incredible speed, reliability, artistic flexibility and eco-conscious qualities.

Renowned for delivering some of the best colour and texture found in print, the risograph has bridged the gap between a standard photocopier (which is cheaper up to about 50 copies) and using an offset press (which is cheaper over roughly 10 000 copies)

Risographs are Environmentally Friendly

One of the most considerable advantages of these digital duplicators is tha all of Riso’s inks are vegetable oil-based, drying through absorption into uncoated paper stock (rather than through heavy chemical dryers or heat). Thanks to this unique process, power consumption remains very low throughout the print process.

Risographs conform to a variety of certification marks and environmental labels:

• Color Universal Design Certification
• Certified with the "Eco Mark" issued by the Japan Environment Association
• Conforms to the International Energy Star Program
• Conforms to the Green Purchasing Law
• Complies with the European RoHS Directive - restricting use of specified hazardous substances from the production to the disposal of products.

Saving Costs on Duplicate Prints:

When it comes to printing or copying many duplicates (more than 20 copies of the same content) Risograph prints are generally less expensive (per page) than a conventional photocopier, laser printer, or inkjet printer.
