A camera that reproduces risograph printing — multi-plate color separation, halftone dot screens, and intentional plate misregistration, rendered live in your viewfinder and applied in full the moment you press the shutter. SEVEN REAL PRINT PROCESSES * Riso Duotone — pink + cobalt ink plates, overprinted * Flat Screenprint — halftone-free spot color * Offset Newsprint — a genuine CMY rosette, vintage press texture * Photocopy — Xerox-style decay and scan noise (free) * Engraving — single-plate crosshatch * Mimeograph — blocky ink blotches * Spot Color Halftone — the most saturated color survives a black dot screen Each one is a genuinely different rendering pipeline — not one filter with seven color presets. EVERY VALUE IS A SLIDER Pick a catalog spot ink or mix your own with hue, saturation, and brightness — plus screen angle, dot width, and misregistration strength. Nothing is hardcoded to a preset. Dial in your own look. LIVE PREVIEW, FULL PRINT AT CAPTURE The viewfinder shows a fast live approximation; pressing the shutter applies the complete multi-plate overprint — every ink plate, composited with the same intentional plate misregistration real risograph and offset printing has.
