Join us at Printed Matter Chelsea for the launch of One Prints to Find Comrades (Uno imprime para encontrar camaradas), from Can Can Press. One Prints to Find Comrades celebrates the art of printing and publishing as a dynamic creative practice, offering a bilingual exploration (Spanish and English) of how print fosters community and collaboration. This riso print guide is a visual and practical tool that seeks to expand the resources available to Spanish-speaking readers on printing technique.
Drawing from seven years of dedicated experimentation and refinement, the book provides in-depth prepress instructions, color charts, print and paper samples, and showcases diverse graphic works. It reflects an evolving expertise in risograph printing, highlighting experimental color blends and profiles, making it a valuable resource for designers, artists, and print enthusiasts.
Can Can Press is a Mexico City-based creative studio that takes a playful and experimental approach to publishing. They’re not just printmakers or designers; they’re storytellers who weave narratives through everything they create—whether it’s a risograph print, a piece of clothing, or a unique design object. With a strong editorial backbone, their work spans the worlds of graphic design, visual communication, and craftsmanship, always with a curiosity for the unexpected. At Can Can Press, the lines between disciplines blur, and every project becomes a new adventure in multi-format publishing.
