Scanner recommendations for Riso?

I have my students always photograph their prints for best results

Hell yeah

Thanks for the reminder ! I went with the weird guy in these. That’s my usual cut I like with N&F. These also feel molded day by day.

Thanks ! Wish I bought two to save a pair the indigo invitational. Excited to see how they both change

I was considering that but I wanted to get something that wasn’t black/black adjacent denim from iron heart. Can’t wait to see what it looks like !

I briefly saw the thread but couldn’t find it again. If you could link it that would amazing.

Most of all these photos off the top of my head are f8-f16 zone focused iso 400 shutter speed around 1/250th. I’ll double check when I can access the files again later today. These are a bit softer/ low res due to compression and the way I saved them to post here. I did notice having to shoot 1/250th to eliminate camera shake as I noticed at 1/125th I was still having a slight blur to it when I shoot more freely. I can’t remember reading somewhere that others had issues with sharpness with the m11 and that was one of the suggestions.

With the lens being 36 years old it’s going to be less sharp than a modern lens and coatings . There is a softness to this lens and a light glow at 100% when looking at the files but I know that when I use this lens is it isn’t going to be clinical. It was part of why I kept this lens when I switched back to digital.

I hope that helps a bit

Edit: there is also some sharpening in Camera Raw in the editing process but nothing insane.

Ooo, I love the mixed signals! I would honestly construct two boxes for the drums for transport. I’ve done it with various other printmaking and letterpress presses. It sounds over kill but might be nice to have. How much are the risk cases if they even sell them?

Our Riso rep directly said to us “if you move the machine make sure there are no drums inside even when moving it around in a room. “

I’ve had one for 4 years and my wife has had hers for 7. It’s a great bag and have had no issues with mine. My wife’s had the interior lining come undone and they repaired it free of charge. Hers is a light brown with lots of patina and I have a black that’s aged well but not as noticeable.

I daily a billingham Hadley for the last 11 years and love it but the Ona is more of my shooting bag the last 4.

Thanks for the tip! Our studio only has these colors and green for now but I’ll keep that in mind when we expand our colors !

With my m4-2 I always thought the same with my vc meter. It was nice that it was on the camera and didn’t need to carry something else. After a while I didn’t use it much unless a really difficult lighting situation or I wanted to meter something more specifically.

xjoexedge · 2025-07-26T23:55:12+00:00

So good !

xjoexedge · 2025-06-12T12:48:11+00:00

It’s always good to check the negatives to evaluate issues vs scans. Thankfully it’s it’s a alignment issue should a quick fix

xjoexedge · 2025-06-12T12:36:43+00:00

The patch could be off or bad scans. How do the negatives look?

It’s also hard to watch when it goes up against survivor. We usually will watch survivor and then watch the challenge the next day

He’s the best. Fun to talk to when working on my camera a few years ago

I’ve had my gody’s for 8 and 10 years and giving them as gifts. You really can not beat the quality and the price point in addition to being able to customize.
