Risograph Print Effect Tabs in Tailwind CSS

A two-plate riso pull: the chosen tab gets a fluoro-orange plate with a cyan plate misregistered 4px down-left, multiplied together into a third ink where they overlap. The port moves the bar onto paper stock — multiply only reads correctly on light paper, which is how a riso actually prints — and adds a halftone texture.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • .tt14plate and its ::before became one span with before: utilities; the drum-pass keyframe runs from group-has-checked/tab:before:animate-ttb26-shift.
  • isolation:isolate on the label is the isolate utility; it keeps the multiply blend inside the tab.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the stage moved from charcoal to paper stock — on charcoal, cyan multiplied to near-black and the second plate was invisible outside the overlap. On paper the overprint reads like a real riso pull.
  • UI upgrade: a halftone dot texture on the stock, Archivo Black issue numbers, ringed inactive plates and a 2×2 grid on phones.

How this works

Multiply needs paper. The original printed on charcoal, where cyan multiplied with near-black is near-black — the second plate vanished except where it overlapped orange. On paper, cyan reads cyan, orange reads orange and the overlap darkens to a third ink:

<label class="group/tab relative isolate">
  <span class="absolute inset-0 -z-10 bg-ttb26-orange opacity-0
    group-has-checked/tab:opacity-100
    before:absolute before:inset-0 before:bg-ttb26-cyan before:mix-blend-multiply
    before:translate-x-[-4px] before:translate-y-[4px]
    group-has-checked/tab:before:animate-ttb26-shift"></span>

isolate on the label keeps the blend inside it, so the plates never multiply with the page.

Make it yours

  • Classic pairs: fluoro pink + teal, or purple + yellow.
  • Tighter register: -2px 2px; amateur pull: -6px 6px.
  • Drop the halftone for a cleaner stock.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Without isolate, a -z-10 plate falls behind the stage and disappears.
  • mix-blend-multiply composites against what's behind — test on your real page colour.
  • The plate offset is decorative; the label text sits above both plates.

mix-blend-mode and isolation are universal.
