The fine folks at Nasa rule for reasons upon reasons, but one of our favorites is that they don\u2019t restrict the use of their photos. Aside from their logo, any photo on their website is fair game (read all about it in legalese<\/a>). <\/p>\n They have tons of galleries of photos<\/a> to choose from! When you find one you like, be sure you hit the \u201cview full resolution\u201d link before you tap and hold to save it to your phone. <\/p>\n Our favorite galleries to browse are photos of the moon<\/a>, space walks<\/a> and rocket launches<\/a>. Since Risograph prints are monochromatic (just one color + white) it\u2019s important that your photo is high contrast. That means the bright spots are very bright and the dark spots are very dark. <\/p>\n Open the photo you\u2019ve chosen in your favorite photo editing app and turn up that contrast. . We like Snapseed for this (for Android<\/a> or iPhone<\/a>). Bump the contrast up till the blackest parts of your photo are black and the brightest highlights are white \u2026 but be careful. Don\u2019t turn up the contrast so high that you start losing details in the photo. Keep those craters. Once you\u2019ve saved your photo. Open the Parabo Press app<\/a> or head to our website<\/a> to turn your shot into a risograph print. We’ll show you a preview of your photo as a risograph, when you choose the color of ink you want. <\/p>\n Interstellar blue, solar flare orange, lightspeed pink or supernova teal, all of our inks are soy-based and ready for take-off (to your house – we\u2019ve got very speedy shipping). Whether you\u2019re using Skeleton Clips<\/a> or Wood Poster Rails<\/a>, or just a bit of Washi Tape<\/a>, hang up your handy work and gaze away.<\/p>\n Day or night, you\u2019ve got a little bit of outer space to admire, in your very own inner space. Just because you made it to the bottom of this article, and because we like you. We want you to have $10 off your Risograph Print!
