Another Press | The First Risograph Studio in the Basque Country

Another Press is a project started by couple Begoña and Itxaso back in 2016. When Begoña learnt about Risograph she inmediately fell in love with the technique, thus the first piece of equipment they bought was a brand new Riso ME9350E. Another Press put Risograph on the map of Bilbao and the whole Basque Country, and have been experimenting, learning, printing commissioned work, and teaching workshops for the past seven years.

From their studio, Begoña and Itxaso work on Risograph projects, commercial printing, and design printing productions for their clients with a speciality in editorial projects. However, Risograph printing is not their only field of expertise; with years of experience in graphic arts and passion for this profession, the pair have specialised in advising studios, agencies, and professionals from the creative world in the print production process of their projects.

“We meet with our clients and we love to learn about their work, what they need and how they imagine their printing jobs to be, and we study the concept, analyze what that book, print, business card or packaging requires and we assess its technical feasibility, we make them a proposal of materials and production and we guide them so that they can reduce costs and optimize resources.”

The duo’s biggest inspiration is their clients’ work; “It is amazing the kind of talent people bring to our studio and it is always refreshing getting to know local emerging talents”. Begoña and Itxaso are not artists, but they have an almost symbiotic relationship with a design and illustration studio based in Bilbao, Happyending Studio, with whom they have worked since the foundation of A.P. They designed the visual identity of A.P and design and illustrate all of their graphics. “We loved their work before and now feel that they translate to design and illustration our identity and are very, very inspired by everything they do,” comment the couple.

Another Press hope to keep on spreading the love for Risograph printing throughout the Basque Country. They have worked hard on their workshop program, Another Riso School, and are very excited about the prospects of the second edition of the Another Riso School, Summer Edition. They have also rebooted their publishing branch, and have published a couple of comics and zines in the past. But this May they took a step forward and brought to life via open call seven new editorial projects (comic, photozines and zines) and hope to explore more of this fascinating field.
