Tone Alley is a DIY Risograph printing endeavor run by Woodlin Latocki in Minneapolis, MN. Printing with a refurbished RISO SF5130 machine and six ink colors, this studio produces original work and now offers print services to the public.

The goal of this practice is to evoke a feeling of presence and quiet atmosphere through careful consideration of light, shadow, color layering, and texture.

This studio prints using an analog method – scanning artwork on the Riso’s copy top (like a photocopier) rather than sending files to the Riso digitally. This adds an additional element of human touch and process haze to the prints.
