James Bay, Victoria as a Riso print

Printscii prints

Riso

Any place on Earth in characters, printed in two inks slightly out of register.

A risograph prints one colour at a time in soy ink, so each pass lands a little off the last. Land takes one ink and water the other, over the characters, with the paper's grain showing through.
