Open Access
Welcome to Matiz Press Open Access—a dedicated space for independent risograph printing! Open Studio access is ideal for experienced printmakers who are ready to dive into their projects and explore the possibilities of risograph printing.
How Open Access Works
1. Certification Check
Before booking, confirm your certification status. If it's been more than 6 months since your last workshop or certification, you'll need to complete a certification session.
2. Reserve Your Time
Studio time must be booked at least 1-2 weeks in advance. Availability is based on our current schedule.
3. Bring Your Files & Materials
Files must be print-ready. If additional support is needed, book a Consultation before your session.
4. Create Independently
Open Studio is designed for certified users to work independently. Our team will provide a brief machine overview and troubleshooting support if needed.
