Hotbed Press is a one-press, one-cat operation in the back of an old joinery on Allison Street. We've been printing zines, posters, art books and small-edition prints since the spring of 2017.
Risograph isn't tidy. Inks misregister, paper warps, fluo pink ghosts onto everything. That's the point. Every print is a little bit different, a little bit wrong, and that's how you know a person made it.
Up to four colour-passes on 100gsm uncoated. Perfect for gig posters, exhibition posters, or just shouting in print. Ten-day turnaround, 50-print minimum.
A5 or A6 saddle-stitched. We print, fold, and staple in-house. Bring your spreads as a PDF — we'll handle the imposition and the paper-jam stories.
Numbered, signed and embossed editions for illustrators and printmakers. We help with paper choice, registration test prints, and certificate cards.
Riso-printed sticker sheets and woven patches. Great for merch, bands, club nights, or just decorating your laptop until it can't be seen anymore.
