Pricing is based on the number of colors, quantity, paper, and trim size of your order. Additional fees may apply for trimming, folding, binding, or other finishing and/or specialty processes. The larger the print run, the less expensive per-print your job will be.
We make one print run every month.
If you want to be part of the next run, make sure you complete the steps below by their specific deadline:
1. Fill out the Estimate Form no later than the last day of every month (29th, 30th, 31st) to reserve your spot on the next print run.
2. Approve your digital proof or resubmit the Estimate Form with your updated files (if needed) by the 7th.
3. Fill out the Final Order Form and submit your payment before the 14th.
Turnaround is tipically 2 weeks after digital proof approval.
Printed proofs are not typical of Riso because masters can’t be reused. We can produce a printed proof for larger projects (like books) if requested, for an additional fee.
