Risograph printing is a cross between screenprinting and photocopying, using biodegradable, soy-based inks. This zine has slightly textured, tactile feel, printed on off-white sugar paper with aqua and pink. The nature of riso printing carries its own subtle imperfections which makes each zine unique – perfectly in keeping with Hairy Jayne's handmade, DIY ethos.
