Our Paper
Come check out our paper in-person! We have a variety of text-weight and cover-weight 8.5x11 and 11x17 paper in lovely textures and shades of creams, greens, purples, pinks, oranges, and more. All paper is responsibly sourced from French Paper Co, a paper mill in Michigan using 100% renewable electricity from their on-site hydroelectric plant.
You’re also welcome to bring your own paper, just know that it must be uncoated and no thicker than 80# cover-weight.
How to Print with Us
-
For those new to Riso or returning after an extended break, we require that you attend a Riso 101 workshop before printing with us. They take place twice a month at the shop and will give you all the basics you'll need for printing with us!
If you want to learn but need a scholarship, please reach out via our booking form or Instagram, as we do have them available!

Make an appointment with us here. Typically a printing appointment takes about an hour. To see how much you can expect printing to cost, see below.
