Two-color risograph print from any image
Risograph printing has a look you can't fake with a filter slider: two spot inks that never quite line up, visible grain, and flat saturated color on toothy paper. This tool leans into that — it maps your image to two inks and deliberately offsets one channel for that off-register charm.
Set the two ink colors and paper tone, push the grain and ink misregistration, and drop a bold headline on top. It's built for posters that look run on a real riso.
Working the controls
- Upload an image, or start from the built-in sample.
- Pick two ink colors and a paper tone — riso loves bright, unexpected pairs.
- Raise Grain and Misregister for authentic print character.
- Type your headline and export the PNG.
Put it to work
- gig, event and zine posters
- two-color print campaigns
- album and book covers
- indie and DIY brand graphics
FAQ
Why are the colors offset / not aligned?
That's intentional — real risograph prints each color on a separate pass and they never register perfectly. The misregister control sets how much offset, which is the heart of the look.
Can I match real riso ink colors?
Pick colors close to the riso palette (fluorescent pink, teal, blue, yellow) for an authentic feel — but any two-color pair works.
Will it print well?
Yes — it's designed to look like a print already. It's a great base to actually run on a riso or to mimic one digitally.
