How to use this prompt

Risograph's charm is its imperfection, so the prompt names "visible grain and slight misregistration between the colour layers" — that offset between pink and teal is the signature of the process and the thing a clean render omits. The negative bans "perfect registration" and "smooth vector" to protect that wobble. Fluorescent pink and teal are named because riso inks are specific and fluorescent; generic pink-and-blue reads as ordinary digital colour. Keep the shapes simple — circles and arches — because riso is a flat, layered process and fine detail fills in with grain. "Imperfect ink coverage" adds the patchy density real riso prints have.

Variations to try

Single colour — one layer of soy-based black ink only
Three colour — pink, teal and yellow with heavier overlap
