Kiblind Atelier is an independent risograph print studio in Lyon, France, born from the illustration magazine Kiblind. Since 2017 it has printed bold, limited-colour posters with illustrators from around the world, using vegetable-based inks and certified paper. 

When you buy a Kiblind print, you’re supporting an independent studio and the artists behind each design.

Invented in Japan in the 1940s, risography is a stencil-based, layer-by-layer printing technology similar to screen printing, using direct tones, i.e. pure colors with a luminous, intense rendering.

The riso prints cold (low consumption), on uncoated paper (less processed), with vegetable oil-based inks and no solvents. Part of the machine is made from recycled materials, and all consumables are collected and recycled in partnership with the Conibi organization.

Kiblind's risographs are printed on MUNKEN Print White 150g uncoated paper, made from ECF pulp and FSC and PEFC certified.
