- Please prepare one black-only grayscale file for each ink color you want to print. The ink color is selected when we print.
- The black value in your file controls the ink density. For large solid areas and photos, we usually recommend keeping the darkest areas around K80–90%, since very heavy ink can take longer to dry.

Color Charts for Sale
We also sell physical Risograph color charts at the studio. Available in Long and Short.
These charts are made from extra sheets printed by visitors and by us at NOT GUTTER. Rather than letting them go unused, we selected sheets with interesting colors and textures and turned them into color samples.
Made in collaboration with the design unit _MISHMASH, each one has its own mix of colors and details. The covers and cases are also silkscreen printed here at the studio.
