Note that digital color representations are only an approximation of the physical result. In addition, the more colors you mix together, the more “soft” and “fuzzy” the texture will be on paper.
Our machine runs two drums at a time. We do our best to have excellent registration, but 3-4 color prints may introduce slight variations.
Pricing
✿ Pricing is subject to adjustment during our soft-launch phase ✿
Setup Fees
Setup fees cover our time spent reviewing your project, checking and preparing files, and maintaining the RISO printer for operations.
1-color projects do not incur a setup fee. We also waive fees for non-profit projects (i.e. personal, community, and social good initiatives.)
Every project that uses more than 1 color assumes a minimum of 1 hour of labor wages for prints, and 2 hours for zines. Expected time will be evaluated and quoted appropriately as part of intake. Setup fees for multiple prints may be combined to reduce overall pricing.
| Color Count | Non-Profit Cost | Standard Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 color | free ✿ | free ✿ |
| 2 colors | free ✿ | $20.00/hr |
| 3 colors | free ✿ | $30.00/hr |
| 4 colors | free ✿ | $40.00/hr |
Print Fees
These fees apply for single-sheet prints. This includes printing operations + producing optional hard proofs for review before the final print run.

Send us files to print! We try to complete production on print orders within 2-3 business days of receiving invoice payment, and zine orders within 2-3 weeks.
We expect files to be print-ready and ask that you send them several days in advance so we can review them and provide recommendations. Color separation services will incur additional charges and we cannot guarantee color accuracy.
Quoting and Invoicing
Before printing your project, we will ask you to provide information so that we can confirm a quote and time estimation. This will ensure that we can provide you with our highest quality of work at the lowest costs, and allows us to evaluate projects that don’t fit neatly into the standard pricing structure.
Once a final quote has been reviewed and agreed upon, we will send you an invoice that finalizes the details of your project. Please review the invoice carefully before paying.
Invoices must be paid in full before production begins.
I’m ready!~
