Risoprint Question

Hey everyone,

I got in touch with a painter asking him if he could draw something for me (it's for a present to my boyfriend). Since my budget is low, he said he couldn't offer me an actual painting but instead he could lower the price of a RISO print.

I have no clue what that is and even after I looked it up I didn't quite understand it. My question is, would this be worth my money? And would it be a good alternative to a painting?

Tldr; Artist offers me RISO print instead of actual painting. Is it worth it? Should I buy it for a gift?

>Is it worth it?
that's completely up to you.
its like asking whether or not you should buy those pair of shoes, or that car, or that dinner entree...

i don't know what it cost but, i personally wont spend $50+ a print unless it's hand signed and numbered, and preferably part of a limited print run of 100 or less.

also, if you do end up purchasing it, i'd throw it in frame. no need to splurge on gallery quality matting/framing... just something inexpensive so that its protected and ready to hang.

Thanks a lot for the reply and the frame advice ! I don't like those 'is it worth it' questions but I'm a bit out of my element here and I am trying to not get cheated on with what I'm getting and paying for.

I took a look on his website again and was able to find some RISO prints on there (which are all sold out). They all state that they are 'limited hand signed and numbered' and range from 40 - 55 € each. He told me I would be getting one for 30 € since that was my budget as a student.

I guess I will go for it, it seems like a good deal...

A riso print is a print from a risograph machine. It's basically a color photocopy.

ok, thanks for the info!

Yeah... really basically...
