SHOP NOTE: We ship every 2-to-4 weeks in order to batch orders for sustainable labor. We are in a slow-down and in some cases this might take a touch longer. For faster fulfillment please order from Printed Matter. Thank you for understanding!
We are pleased to offer a ‘you-send-it-we-print-it-service’ for easy proof-free single-sided two-color 11×17 Riso editions. This is still on a ‘BETA’ trial, so please feel free to contact us.
INSTRUCTIONS
1.) Place an order specifying your paper, ink, and edition options using the dropdown menus.
2.) Separate your artwork for Riso printing. Some classic separation techniques for 2 color: Duotone, Color Select, & pre-making your image with separate layers. If you don’t know how, we have some simple tutorials here. You may also use Spectrolite to separate your files using any of our available inks to preview your work.
3.) Reference our printing section for any specific other questions.
4.) Within 48 hours of transaction, email studio@txtbooks.us with a zipped copy of your print files with single-page grayscale PDFs for each ink color (labeled by color) and include a full color reference JPG. Include your transaction # in the subject line.
5.) *Click’N’Ship*: Receive your prints by mail in roughly two-three weeks via USPS. We cannot coordinate local pickups at this time~apologies!
SPECS
