    [Misc] Ink for riso - what is it? Can i make it?

    An open question to the community - what is RISO ink made from, and can it be substituted with alternative inks (ie oil based screenprinting ink)?

    I was wondering if some sort of screen printing medium (oil or acrylic based) could substitute it, and would thus allow for custom colours to be made.

    Surely if something had a similar drying time (both on paper, and in the drum), viscosity and tackiness (so paper didn't start sticking to the drum) it would work?

    If anyone could give me any pointers, at least to research it'd be much appreciated!

      There are some legendary RISOGRAPHERS in the Netherlands that have allegedly managed to make and refill their own inks as you describe. Try checking out and writing to Extrapool

          Recently, Riso has made their ink from a soy-based product, which does not dry as quick and has been known to separate ( the ink will settle within the tube while sitting on your shelf, allowing water to run out of the tube upon using it), so any alternative would be welcome.


          If you are adventurous, you may want to inquire in China- they will imitate anything! Try Alibaba?

              Dear,

              Instead of the original Riso ink,our Riso ink is produced by our ink manufacturer in Japan. You will be %100 satisfied with our Riso ink quality and moreover you will lower your costs. Our Riso ink is also compatible to Riso Comcolor series printers. It is very easy to fill our Riso HC ink into original cartridge tanks and replace the chip. We are already selling our Riso ink to many countries in the world and to all over Turkey for more than 1 year. If you want to check our website: Blackink Muadil Orjinal Kartu
