We’re doing another collaborative risograph calendar! We’ve printed these every holiday season for 7 years now and we feel lucky to have the creative folks we know and love and print with (and some new friends too!) participate. For those of you who are new here: every year we take submissions from local artists to create a vibrant 2 color risograph printed and bound calendar. The theme of the calendar this year is KEEPSAKES!
Why preorder this calendar? Preordering helps us gauge how many copies of this calendar we need to make and order the necessary supplies—plus you save $10! Preorders will be available until 11/15 and will ship late November/early December with time to arrive before the holidays. We ship anywhere in the US, or you can select free local pickup—we’ll contact you when these are available!
We design this calendar with printmakers, designers, riso nerds, and print collectors in mind—you can trim the artwork out to keep and frame (12 beautiful prints!), and we include color combinations, special inks and papers, and other extras that can serve as a swatchbook and inspiration for any future projects!
You can find out more info about this calendar here, including how to participate and submit work, examples of past calendars, and more!
Thank you so much for your support as we print the 6th iteration of this calendar!

Educators, this makes for an excellent consolation prize for students when they are deep in their sorrows when they realize they have carved their image right-reading.

Give the gift of Riso!
We put together fun gift packs for anyone wanting to gift a Riso Basics workshop! This pack includes a workshop gift certificate for any of our open Riso Basics classes, a limited edition print, bookmark, print guide, and of course confetti.
It’s BARBARA!
Barbara is our original risograph—the one who started it all! She’s an RC6300 born in 1993, a leo, and Outlet’s official mascot! She’s mostly retired from printing now, but she still hangs out in our space and takes it easy supervising our other risograph sisters. And yes, she’s single.
Now you can take Barbara with you! In colorful sticker form—complete with a chaotic mess of stickers, paper, and added ink tube!
This sticker is 3.1” x 2.9” and matte! Printed by the lovely folks at Sticker Ninja.

I am listening to the hum of my Antiquated Stencil Duplicator called a RISOGRAPH.
Seriously, keep honking, buddy. Nothing to see here.

It’s a veritable grab bag of my test prints, random bits, quasi mess-ups, thrift store finds, and debris from past gallery installations. Each pack is filled with a STACK of STUFF (riso patterns, zine pages, prints, buttons, cards, play money?) containing items didn’t quite make it to prime time (or are perhaps past their prime) and are ready for you to reuse and enjoy! GRAB YOURSELF A SCRAP PACK!
Each pile comes in an 8.5x11 sleeve with a riso printed sticker seal. Items in each pack vary, but promise to pack a PUNCH of goodness.
GIDDYUP!
Featuring the truly charming running bitmap riso that appears on the loading screen of some older machines!

Since the rest of Ikea’s stuff comes with instructional booklets, we thought their soft serve needed one too! Enjoy this small size one-page zine, and call the customer service hotline with any questions.
Each one-page zine is 2.75 x 1.25” when closed. Printed and assembled at Outlet.
We at Outlet really enjoy the sweet sting of carbonation that only Diet Coke can bring. Also, it tastes best in a can. This is fan art for our dumb drink that we affectionately call Dirt Coke.
This print is 11x11 and printed in yellow, black, and red on Janet the Riso.
Do you have a small object you'd like to commemorate? Let me handcraft a tiny ceramic porcelain bowl and personally draw your custom object on it. Each bowl is made to order. Also, feel free to choose from such tiny objects such as: bobby pins, fingernails, cat whiskers, lighters, cheetos, pills, multiple teeth, a singular tooth, used floss, not used floss, chapstick, rocks, salt, guitar picks and gum just to name a few of the ones that I have made in the past.
Each bowl will vary in size, but they range between 3 to 5 inches and are wonky and wobbly in the most delightful way. No one will think that AI made these!
