Open RISO Hours!

We're making our RISO GR3770 (one-drum duplicator) available for your use, for free! Book a 1-hour slot to print a run of flyers, finish the first or last pages of your zine, or play around with scanning and layering.

Guidelines

Sign up for RISO 101 on July 12, for access to Open RISO Hours! As our Open RISO Hours are not staffed by techs, we require participants to be familiar with risograph use, operations, and care.
This GR3770 has Black, Purple, Orchid, Red, Burgundy (transitioning to Yellow), and Sky drums. These drum options may change slightly, as we continue to maintain them.
Bring your own paper, if you can! Uncoated, maximum 11x17 inches.
The GR3770 is currently not equipped with a Mac/PC driver. This means you'll use the scanner bed only, to produce your prints.
Leave behind a print for the PRINT TIME Workshop space!
This is a shared machine, lovingly refurbished, and we hope to maintain it not only for the course of PRINT TIME, but for a long while! Help us extend the life of the RISO by being respectful of the machine and its materials.

This workshop is brought to you by PRINT TIME, a monthlong exhibition and programming series dedicated to print culture, community publishing, and their surrounding ecosystems. Co-organized by FORTUNE, Ulises, and Icebox Project Space, with generous support from the Penn Treaty Special Services District and Fire Museum Presents.

PRINT TIME will feature an exhibition featuring large print studies by Erik Ruin, Jarrah May, Kocot & Hatton, and Olivia Fredricks — open during Icebox Project Space’s gallery hours (Thursday–Saturday, 12–6PM). Register for our free workshops, each weekend in July, to practice the possibilities of print. And, come to our Big Summer Book Sale on PRINT TIME’s closing day (Sunday, July 27, 11AM–5PM) to visit 30 vendors who print in multiples, toward manifold means of learning.

Accessibility Details: This event will be in-person and indoors. Icebox Project Space, located within the Crane Arts Building, is wheelchair accessible.
