Based in Margate, Duplikat is an artist-led print studio with years of Risograph experience. We specialise in vibrant print production, bespoke finishing and hands-on learning for beginner and experienced creatives.
We offer a full range of creative services; come say hi at our space, join us for a workshop, or let’s collaborate on your next Riso project.
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 allows us to offer short-run screen printing as a tactile extra to Risograph projects.
We offer Gocco screen printing as a bespoke service to complement your Riso runs. It’s ideal for projects such as single-colour tote bags, or bespoke greyboard zine covers. These are handled on a bespoke basis, so do get in touch to chat through your ideas first.
We also produce Duplikat exclusive ‘Gokko’ print kits, allowing you to screen print at your kitchen table. We have kits online in small and large sizes, plus a specially designed a mini frame kit to fit vintage ‘Print Gocco’ machines - perfect for giving your retro gear 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.

Whether you’re a newbie or experienced Riso artist looking to level up, our Risograph Workshops are designed to be a relaxed, hands-on dive into the world of offset Riso printing. You’ll learn how the machines work, experiment with our huge ink palette and leave with a stack of your very own prints.
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 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.
