Two years ago I bought a second-hand risograph printer. It is slow, loud and imprecise, and it has changed how I design.
Working with limits
Each colour is printed separately, and layers never line up perfectly. Instead of fighting it, I now design with that misregistration in mind.
Mistakes become ideas
Some of my favourite prints started as errors: a drum loaded with the wrong ink, a sheet fed twice. The Neon Artifact prints came from one of those accidents.
