Indietracks Guide and the Risograph

This years festival guide has been sent to Footprint as of yesterday! I wont get to see it until the actual festival now.

Footprint use a lovely old Risograph printer. This years cover has three inks, black, blue and red. So to get this printed I have to work out which areas I want in which colour and send over three different files (in black) in order for these layers to be printed. I love the affect these give! There’s more information on how their risograph works and the different coloured inks they have on their website here: FOOTPRINT

So although this looks like a single image and very pristine. The actual result will be on an off white card and quite likely slightly offset (adding to the charm of risograph printing!):

A portion of the front cover:

However this is how the files for the whole outer cover look like before printing!:
