Risograph Tutorial - Photoshop separations

[@edbic4223]

this is the best risograph tutorial I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe there are so little likes! thank you for such a useful video! I also want to ask if you could make a video about how to print by seperating at cmyk!

[@kitetsustation]

Hi! Thanks so much! Yes, I've been asked to do this and I plan to make this tutorial in a few weeks! :-D Thanks again!

thanks so much! ;)

[@jsteroyle]

Thank you so much for sharing! I've found your riso videos really helpful, as I'm going to a workshop soon. :)

[@kitetsustation]

Thats so great! Hope you had fun!!

This is the most straightforward tutorial on prepping files for riso that I've seen, thanks! Do you know what function the Ctrl+Shift+Backspace / Ctrl+Shift+Delete shortcut is actually doing? I can tell it's not a simple greyscale conversion but rather something based on opacity. I'm curious, for example, where I would get to this through the toolbar without the keyboard shortcut and what the name is.

your videos are so informative and educational.. thank you for making them! I'm watching as many as I can before going to a risograph workshop at a local studio

[@kitetsustation]

Thank you!! The workshop sounds really exciting!!

[@leuuuuuuwk]

Very useful! hopefully I will do this myself soon.. I wanted to do riso but really need an understanding of how the colors and layers work. Thought it was similar to screen-printing, now I see this I dont think so.

Hello! I have a new Riso CMYK Separation tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/op3ddnlmbNpoqJo

[@pettyparties]

this was so helpful, thank you so much!

[@kitetsustation]

Thank you! I will probably create a couple of updated tutorials in the next few months with actual printed examples haha...

[@bestericbrehm]

I was helped thank you

[@JirosWorld]

I think it would be much, much easier to just convert to greyscale mode. You can even do this with keeping layers.

[@kitetsustation]

As long as people adjust the levels afterwards, this is also fine! A straight grayscale on a light colour such as a yellow layer will be too light because yellow is a light-value colour to begin with.

[@JirosWorld]

But then: how should we work the other way around? If all original drawings are in black and white or grayscale, then how to convert them into colors to get the right light-value?

[@iamdavegray]

This is great thanks. Am I right in thinking that the Riso would add the halftone type pattens itself when it makes the stencil? So a grey or transparent area would print as dots?

[@kitetsustation]

Hi, it depends. The riso print settings can do different size halftones (based on LPI or something like that) or just normal non-halftone.

[@wildwallsart5622]

very clear thank you

[@kitetsustation]

You’re most welcome!!

[@TheDudeway]

I can't really follow...could you do an photoshop illustration (little) from start to finish ? Choosing color palette, using channels etc till the final print ? Would be great...

[@kitetsustation]

I will try to make something very very basic! But i think there are other channels that also have some tutorials! Hope you can find what you need!

[@TheDudeway]

@@kitetsustation Hey thx Olivia, but I couldn't find anything.m answering my questions...

[@TheDudeway]

@@kitetsustation Is it possible to get into email chat with you on how to solve some of the issues I have, separating color and covering some preparation fundamentals ?

[@TheDudeway]

@@kitetsustation For example, I got this ps illustration (layers) and I filled in some shapes with black and lowered the opacity for contrast. But I am not really sure about it, because lowering the opacity is not the same as lowering the value of a spot color ? Am I correct? So the correct way would be having b/w with different values like 75%black, 50%black etc. ? This is confusing..

[@kitetsustation]

@@TheDudeway lowering opacity works. U dont have to do anything else extra. Im sorry im really busy.

[@nagvart]

thank you

[@parisend5457]

I love this tutorial, but listening with headphones on your "p's popping is really distracting. Consider purchasing a pop filter for your mic?

[@higerlestrange]

Im Sorry but I have more questions than before the Video ???
