PRINT TIME Open RISO Hours

Open RISO Hours!

We're making our RISO GR3770 (one-drum duplicator) available for your use, for free! Book a 1-hour slot to print a run of flyers, finish the first or last pages of your zine, or play around with scanning and layering.

Guidelines

1. Sign up for on July 12, for access to Open RISO Hours! As our Open RISO Hours are not staffed by techs, we require participants to be familiar with risograph use, operations, and care.
2. The GR3770 comes with Black, Purple, and Medium Blue ink.
3. Bring your own paper, if you can! Uncoated, maximum 11x17 inches.
4. The GR3770 is currently not equipped with a Mac/PC driver. This means you'll use the scanner bed only, to produce your prints.
5. Leave behind a print for the PRINT TIME Workshop space!
6. This is a shared machine, lovingly refurbished, and we hope to maintain it not only for the course of PRINT TIME, but for a long while! Help us extend the life of the RISO by being respectful of the machine and its materials.
