I recently bought a risograph printer and it came with several inks I wouldn't have picked myself, one being metallic gold. I've heard bad things about metallic gold—it's several times more expensive than other inks, it gums up the risograph mesh, it's finicky, etc. I am not the world's most handy person, and I live in fear something will happen to Helga (my riso) so my fear of those issues was enough to make me think I was gonna transition that drum as soon as possible. However, it looks SICK on black paper, so now I'm stuck. Help me. What do I do. For now, I've decided to keep it to make COOL GOLD PRINTS on BLACK PAPER. This is a phoenix and peony blossom. Two very chinese motifs that I've grown up with. Risograph printed with 1 ink (metallic gold) Printed on 80 lbs smooth coverweight paper 8.5"x11" This print will arrive in a clear poly bag, with stiff cardboard support.
