I had a last minute order, and Both Ryan and Carrie patiently worked with me to figure out how to make it work. They were very detailed and professional. But, alas, I messed up the pick up date...

I was so stoked and they were so nice about it that I literally brought them donuts. 5 billion stars! :)

Riso, Risograph printers are a popular medium for artists…read more https://www.riso.co.jp/english/index.html. I could not find reviews of them there on Yelp. This is here. It is a printing machine disguised as an old school photocopier or big size printer you may find in a business or the library. The difference is that it prints from a cartridge filled with a specific color liquid ink. You can print multi-color overlays, but the registration may not exactly match, which is why artists value the lo-fi. The Riso printers, cartridges, and ink are made in Japan. There are several spots in town with these printers. Not to take away from those, RISO Studio Arts PDX is the US distributor. So if you have a Riso, you will know them business to business. If Riso is of interest, explore all the Portland Riso spots! That said, people interested in seeing Riso art shows, or this studio's printed matter, or if you would like to explore classes and projects, visit and chat. Their art openings draw a crowd. The new witchy magic is the Riso instant silk screen making machine. You can access it through new workshops at RISO Studio Arts PDX. If you have ever messed with photo processes to burn a screen, you will be amazed! RISO Studio Arts PDX has a web presence, socials, limited hours, classes, art shows and an all about professional network with solid engagement by staff. Did I say US distributor? Yes.

One place said they'd do it and then said never mind :( Within a few minutes of reaching out I got a call back from Peter saying it wouldn't be an issue (with an understandable rush fee cost) and worked with me on the design and type of shirt. He also had recommendations on logo size that were very helpful! Shirts arrived on time and everyone was very happy with them! We will definitely use this company again:)

Outlet PDX is an artist studio and small business for artists and creatives printing in an intimate…read moreSandy spot. I had met the artist early and then I recently met an artist in residence using their printers, so I had to visit. It has a lot going on, and an ongoing community. Artist Bingham-Burt, it's her working studio too, emerged into the Portland zine community with a PSU art degree and a zine illustrating everything she bought, day by day. That's something to think about. She has a continuing illustration business in this small studio. The star is a collection of antique in the technical lifecycle mighty Risograph printing machines. The Risograph was developed in Japan. It's an instant screen printer for paper. A machine can do one or two colors in a pass. Your original is scanned like a copier. From there a color separation can be made. The separation layers are sent to the instant screen maker. The screens are applied to the inked drums, one or two, depending on the machine. From there you can send as many paper sheets through as you like to get one or two colors of ink. That's all inside the machine which looks like a mild-mannered old-school copy machine! The ink is in cartridges and the ink comes in a small set of colors from Japan. Usually a Risograph studio has a small set of inks in their cartridges. It is a cleaning ordeal to change the color of a cartridge, so a studio is going to keep the color of their cartridges for months or longer. But among those cartridges they can plug from their collection into their machines. You can send your paper through multiple machines multiple times to build up a layered color image, like a screen print. Multiple passes makes for charm - each pass can have slightly misaligned images. Outlet can do contract Risograph jobs. Or you can register for a class and then do your own projects ongoing. But there is more! The studio has a zine library and zines for sale. They have art and cards by the artist. And they have some art supplies. They are in a beautiful space on the courtyard of the 2500 complex. It's not super retail-oriented, most of the individuals there are focused on their own Riso projects with their own creative intensity when you visit. Nonetheless it's special. The other Risograph options in Portland I know are the IRPC and the PSU Risograph studio. Inquire for your project which colors each is printing at any time. Outlet has 4 Risographs. They have names: Barbara, Jolene, Lil' Tina, and Large Marge. Lady printers. It joins my museum list for its zine collection, and for obsolete printer technology which is cool. It's open very limited hours you can see on the website. Outlet illustrates the best of Portland creativity in niche color printing, art, classes and supplies in a dreamy space!

Second, I wanted to have a good quality product that will not only last, but that would make a big impact. I live pretty close to OSI and have seen their work in t-shirt screenings throughout the Portland area over the years. I reached out for a quote and was assigned to Taylor, I gave a rough drawing of the design and we began to talk about mask quality and how I could create a great product. The communication throughout was professional, patient and helpful. The masks were completed under the timeline they gave me and the no contact pick up was well planned. I would do business with OSI again for sure, my coworkers loved the masks and they have brought tons of joy and protection in these Covid-19 times.
