INK & PAPER is two people, one Risograph FR3950, and a shelf of ink drums in a back room off Stark Street. We print a quarterly zine and run small editions for illustrators, comic makers, and small-press publishers who'd rather hold a sheet than scroll a feed.
Our ink philosophy is simple: two colors forced to do the work of four. We overprint by hand, we let the registration drift a few pixels, and we never print on white. Every imperfection is a signature, not a mistake.
"If it lines up perfectly, we printed it wrong."
