Knuckles & Notch 3.96

We run on the desire to provide artists - and anyone exploring publication options- with a choice beyond the prevailing, conventional printing processes. This alternative centers on Risograph, a relatively inexpensive technique that employs stencil duplication to yield prints in either standard or fluorescent colours.

Risograph has been around for decades, but it looks set to win over legions of designers and publishers with its charming print quality. And it makes sense: while Risograph offers the same colours as offset printing, the minimum print is incredibly low, and the swift automation serves as a reprieve from the tediousness of silk-screening. The soy-based inks also possess a degree of translucency that facilitates overprinting, and are notably environment-friendly.

For art students, independent publishers, and retailers alike, Knuckles & Notch exhibits great potential for gradients, patterning, and blending without setting pockets ablaze. Most importantly, every copy will be beautifully inked as pieces of art in their own right.
