Ki-Lab studio

 

In our KI LAB studio, based in Vilnius from 2019, we create graphic design and print everything using Risograph, which prints one colour at a time on uncoated papers weights from 80-300 gsm on maximum A3 size sheets. We have seven colours: Black HD, Medium Blue, Teal Green, Bright Red, Yellow, Fluorescent Orange and Metalic Gold. There is range of different effects and colours that can be obtained by overlaying individual colours and varying the paper stock.

The Risograph, Riso printer, or RISO printer duplicator is a stencil printer designed principally for high-volume duplicating. As a printing method it sits somewhere on the spectrum between screen printing and offset lithography, but what sets Riso apart is the unique aesthetic and highly tactile finish of the prints. Riso uses real ink, so prints are very tacticle – you can really feel the ink. Originally intended for high volume printing, the Riso technology has since been adopted by artists and independent publishers. In recent years, Risograph printing has become more and more popular with artists and designers around the world, and these economically-and environmentally-friendly aspects are key motives for this surge of interest. With Riso, the artist is able to manage every step of the process, designing, printing, and then adapting the work based on the initial results.
