Help RMV Press Acquire a Risograph

Hello!

My name is Ruby May Valentine; I'm an independent cartoonist and printer based in Tucson, Arizona. I run RMV Press which right now mainly prints my work, but I'm hoping to take my printing to the next big step of acquiring a duplicator that can print significant volumes of work so that I can offer my printing services to many other people and be self-sufficient, I love printing and binding books, and this would be huge for me, it would be a way for me to have a substantial income printing significant volumes of my work and others works, I'm disabled and autistic, so I've had a rough time trying to work for employers and such, so I'm hoping to be my own boss doing what I love.

What's a risograph?

A risograph is a type of digital duplicator that prints high volumes of pages efficiently using soy based inks, more info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rfwKuXIhcE

What your funding will help me acquire:

-A risograph duplicator (looking at either an SF or an EZ, basically one that is USB compatible and can print ledger size and is compact)

-Ink Drums

-Paper

-Masters

-Ink

-A PUR Binder

-Shipping/Moving Costs

Thank you for your consideration and support, this will be a dream come true for me!

My initial goal is $6,500; I hope I won't need much more than that. I have talked over everything I need with a friend who owns risograph duplicators, and she said this should cover just about everything!
