Monoprinting is a type of printmaking where each print is unique, rather than using a static, repeated matrix like a woodblock. In monoprinting, we apply ink to thin, clear plexiglass plates which then go through the press. This process allows for lots of different marks to be made by painting ink on, rolling the ink on in thin layers and selectively wiping ink off, using paper stencils, or other materials such as thin meshes or fabrics to leave unique impressions and textures onto the plate. The result is a monotype - a one-of-a-kind impression that cannot be recreated. Except…

With the power of the Risograph, we will actually be able to reproduce our monotypes! We can also use the RISO to quickly add additional colors into our prints. We like to call it “instant gratification printmaking.”
