Fantasy Printhouse offers printing, graphic design and consultancy services for artists, activists, small businesses and socially-driven projects. Support is available for things like graphic novels, zines, art prints, and other materials ready for distribution. The goal is help bring to life projects that build solidarity and community.
We’re a small setup, so we can only take on a few commissions at a time and prioritise projects from Trans and QBIPOC creators in the nordic region to which we also offer free consultation on questions regarding self-publishing and distribution.
Fantasy Printhouse is an anti-urgency project, challenging the pressures of ableism, capitalism, and norms around speed and efficiency, as such we don’t take on rushed or last-minute requests. Mental health and balance come first, so responses, order processing, and shipping take longer than industrial, for-profit, commercial printing operations.
Just plan ahead, and we’ll do our best to bring your project to life, and if we can’t print your project, please check out other Riso printers listed at stencil.wiki/atlas.
Collaboration
We are keen on collaborating with you on your print project even at its most early conceptual stage. If you plan to apply for funding to get your project off the ground, get in touch with us in advance and perhaps we can help through offering an official letter of collaboration which you can include in your grant application.
Is RISO right for your project?
RISO printing is ideal for zines, posters, cards, and art prints where high-quality results meet a love for the unique. Expect slight variations and misalignments.
This method is especially cost-effective for print runs between 50-5000, although we offer editions starting at 20 copies. For larger orders, let us know in advance to ensure we have enough paper on hand.
