Studio Services
What We Offer
-
We specialise in Risograph, a process that sits somewhere between screen printing and a photocopier; producing a vibrant, offbeat and imperfect aesthetic.
Duplikat holds the UK’s largest palette (35 vibrant inks!) and runs the latest model MH9350 printers.
Beyond its lo-fi visual appeal, Riso is eco-friendly, affordable and stands out against the precision of digital printing for all the right reasons.
-
We offer a full suite of studio finishing services to give your project a professional, tactile edge.
Trimming & corner rounding: For perfectly sized prints and soft-edged zines and notebooks.Binding: Classic saddle stitching (stapling), plastic coil binding and custom folding configurations.
Paper finishing: Creasing for cards, perforations for tear-offs and thermography for a raised, tactile finish.
Custom details: Blade cutting for unique projects and matte, gloss, or ‘peach fuzz’ lamination perfect for zine covers.
Dreaming of something bespoke? We love a challenge! We’ve turned Riso prints into everything from beer mats and pickle jar labels to custom paper wreaths. If you’re looking for something extra like hot foiling, singer sewing, or perfect binding, just ask - we outsource to a trusted network of studios. -
Part of the Riso family, our GoccoPro 100 is a professional screen maker, and we use it to make our own Duplikat exclusive Gokko print kits. Send us your artwork, we expose it onto the screen in the studio, and you print at home with no exposure unit, chemicals or extra kit.
Kits come in small and large sizes for printing onto paper, card, tote bags and t-shirts, plus a mini screen kit designed to fit vintage Print Gocco machines, so your retro gear can get a new lease of life.

These aren't your typical, clinical vinyl stickers. They have a gritty, low-res aesthetic that perfectly mirrors the tactile charm of Risograph.
We stock a range of sticker sizes, shapes and colours and they’re a brilliantly affordable way to promote your small business, label your products, or get your band’s name out there.
We can even overlay colours to create multi layer designs. The registration is skewed and the resolution is low, producing happy accidents and scuzzy edges.

Beyond the print press, we also offer design and artworking. With degrees in illustration and photography and years of creative experience, we give a bespoke design service tailored to the quirks and charms of spot colour Risograph printing.
Whether you’re wanting a hand-drawn map, standout gallery flyer, or unique wedding invitations, we know firsthand what makes a successful Riso print.
New to the process? We can help beginner printers layout their artwork to get the very best results from our machines.

If you have a specific project in mind, like a series of limited edition posters or wedding invitations you’d love to print as a couple, our 1-2-1 print sessions are the perfect fit. You’ll get the studio (and our undivided attention) all to yourself. We’ll sit down together to troubleshoot your artwork, choose the perfect paper stock and guide you through the printing process step-by-step.
