SO-RIRISO printing, and publishing studio

SO-RI is a small RISO print studio, operating from our garage in Borgerhout, Antwerp.

We are both a print studio and a publishing house.

Which means we offer print services for all your designs, zines, posters, and more. And we also publish a select amount of artist editions and occasionally sell a limited edition RISO art print.

How to use our calculator

* The start-up fee is a cost you pay once per printing session (whether you print one A3 design or one hundred, you only pay the start-up fee once per printing session), or once per zine in the case of printing a zine.

1 We have three different pricing brackets to choose from:
Discount is for art students. Social, and leftist progressive organisations and movements can apply for an extra discount.
Regular is for most people, and small local businesses.
Corporate is for corporate jobs, this includes big businesses, but also graphic designers charging their clients. Also in this pricing brackets are birth cards and alike.
Not sure about the bracket you are in? Send me a message or ask me in person before printing.

2 The difference between special and regular ink is noted in the “RISO printing” chapter on this page, special colours are denoted by the symbol, and currently are Fluor. Green, Violet and Aqua, while regular inks are denoted by the symbol.
We quite a bit more for special inks, which is why they are more expensive for you as well.

3 Bringing your own paper is free, as it saves me the hassle of stocking paper, buying paper, choosing paper, etc. And as an extra plus: you get your own choice of paper. Please make sure that the paper is uncoated and heavier than 70gsm, but lighter than 230gsm and isn’t prone to losing fibers, isn’t too smooth, nor too textured. 
Printing on your own paper is always at your own risk, and we can not guarantee that your paper will go through the machine perfectly, nor that your paper is perfectly compatible with RISO ink.

4 The page size refers to the size of a single page. It doesn’t refer to the spread size or the plate size. Please keep in mind that the RISO doesn’t print up to the border, so a full A4 sized zine won’t work. Give your pages a bit off space on the sides.
If your page size is smaller than A4, but larger than A5, always go for the bigger size in the calculator.

5 The number of pages should be: 
a multiple of 4 if you’re printing A4, 
a multiple of 8 if you’re printing A5 or 
a multiple of 16 if you’re printing A6. 
The number of pages doesn’t include the cover.
It’s impossible to print a regular zine that isn’t a multiple of 4 pages, use the numbers above to optimize your usage of the A3 sized paper.

6 The minimum amount of copies is always 20. You can print less, but you will always pay for at least 20 copies. This is because making the Master, making sure the ink spreads well, etc. takes time, ink and paper. The RISO is made for multiples, please keep this in mind and minimize waste.
