Our Papers!

This is a list of some of the papers we have available! Risographs can print on 20# bond (75 gsm) to 110# cover (298 gsm) uncoated papers. We’ve tried these and love them, but are always open to experimenting with new papers!

We carry most of these in-house but can’t guarantee that we have everything on hand—some may need to be special-ordered. Contact us to check what we have in stock!
