    Our Risograph

    _MG_5063

    We have one Risograph RP 3700 and two MZ 770E stencil duplicators.

    The process
    The RP3700 is a single drum machine, which means for each pass through the printer a single colour is printed.

    The MZ 700E is a two drum machine, it is one of the most advance Risograph and can print two colours in a single pass.
