About this Event

Learn how to operate Boneshaker’s riso and make 25 copies of your own two-color print! 

For this workshop, we’ll be printing digitally from a computer. File setup is beyond the scope of the workshop (resources on file setup will be provided as well as a consultation via email), so print-ready files must be prepared before the start of the workshop. Bring a flash drive or email them to [email protected] at least two days before the workshop.



DIGITAL FILE SETUP GUIDELINES

Please bring your files as greyscale PDFs or PNGs, 300-600 DPI, with one file per color layer (this workshop is for one to two color prints only). You can design for 11x17 or 8.5x11 paper, but account for 10mm or ¼” margins around your print. Adding crop marks and registration marks can also help you get a good result. Files should be flattened. Please email a preview of your files in advance of the workshop to [email protected] to make sure they’re print-ready, and get in touch if you need any advice or assistance in setting up your files!

You can use essentially any program you’re comfortable with to design your print (e.g. Photoshop, Spectrolite, Procreate; even something like Canva or Google Slides can work)—just make sure your exported file follows the above guidelines
