GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BRUSHES
BRUSH GROUPS
Your RizzCraft brushes are arranged into five
distinct folders according to their style and use.
There are four sets of Risograph texture
brushes, one for each color used in your a
artwork (a) and a selection of print effects
for adding authentic misprint errors and ink
blemishes to your artowrk (b). b
IMPORTANT!
The textures in each color group are unique to ensure each color in your artwork is slightly different,
just like real Riso printing. It’s important that you use a different color group for each color in your
artwork, especially when overlapping colors.
