Faithfully reproduce the tactile imperfections and DIY spirit of Risograph printing from the comfort of your digital studio with RizzCraft. 


Whether you want to pre-visualize your physical Riso prints or capture Riso's perfectly imperfect aesthetic on screen, RizzCraft is a must-have for your digital workflow. 

Painstakingly sampled from our stash of custom-printed source materials hot off the rollers of a Riso RP 3700 at Melbourne's Helio Press, the RizzCraft system comes complete with everything you'll need to authentically reproduce the ink-slinging vibrancy of the cult stencil duplicator.

Choose from a library of over 75 classic Riso inks to create face-melting artwork in up to four colors, with complete control over paper texture, overprints, registration, print defects and smudges.

The brushes are really well-made and easy to use, even for a brush beginner like me. I've been having so much fun experimenting with different color combinations. I'd definitely recommend this set to anyone who wants to add a cool, retro vibe to their artwork!
