Print credit

Print credit is made up of masters and copies. A “master” refers to the physical sheet which your image is reproduced on. A “copy” refers to the number of actual physical prints. Members buy print credit as needed and can top-up as they go. The riso machine automatically keeps a tally of individuals' print credit levels
