The session are open to all, but under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. In order to use the equipment and make the most of the open-hours you must complete an induction. OOMK technicians will be on hand to offer individuals 1:1 inductions. The cost of an Induction Workshop is £10 for non-Newham residents and £5 for Newham residents (please bring proof of address for a £5 refund). An Induction Workshop will introduce users to the workspace and equipment. During the induction, participants will have the opportunity to make and print a design/collage in two colours using the Risograph machine and will be given 5 copies to take home. 

After completing an induction session, users will be able to book Print Slots which are available regularly and listed above. Printing prices can be found here and a range of printing materials and paper will also be available at a low cost (with further reductions for Newham residents). OOMK technicians will be on hand to support throughout every session. Open Access session are not suitable for large print jobs, due to the high volume of people attending. We occasionally offer private group Induction Workshops (£250-£350 for up to 10 people) subject to technician availability, please email rabbitsroadpress@gmail.com for enquiries.

What is Risograph?
Designed to be a high-volume, speedy and low cost photocopier, Riso machines use a stencil-based printing process and colourful inks to produce a result somewhere between silkscreen and offset lithography. Originally manufactured by the Japanese RISO Kagaku Corporation in 1986, Risos were popularly used by schools, prisons, churches, political and activist groups to mass produce posters, flyers, pamphlets and small books. The machine’s unique effects are great for both text and illustration, and with soy-based inks and masters made from banana paper, Risograph printing is better for the environment too.

You can help to support the project by using the Risograph printing facilities to print your work. There is also a donations box at Rabbits Road Press, all of the money goes back into the project and helps towards making Rabbits Road Press a sustainable local arts space.
