NOUN (Japanese)
Translates to 'trimmed edge', meaning the outer edge of the pages of a book.
Though they look like big office printers, riso machines push ink, one colour at a time, through a stencil wrapped around a drum as paper is fed through it at high speeds. As these machines run cold and use soy-based ink, they are energy efficient, create minimal waste and are a generally more environmentally friendly way to print.
Because ink is pushed through a stencil of teeny-tiny-holes one colour at a time, sometimes you get mis-registration (misalignment, sorta like in newspapers!) and small differences in ink coverage, which means every single print is unique and special.
