Risograph

The Risograph SF 9450 is a Japanese made digital duplicating machine that passes ink through a screen onto a sheet of paper, one layer at a time. A Risograph is good at printing at high speeds with bright and vibrant colors. It is well loved in illustration and design fields as a limited color printing technique, producing iconic Riso textures in each print.
