Copy Scan Effect

The print effect drags a photograph across a photocopier glass mid-scan: high-contrast black and white, blown highlights, crushed blacks, and vertical streaks pulled down the frame.

How far the scan drags and how hard the contrast bites are yours to dial, from a light photocopy to a fully mangled scan. It works loudest in black and white, so it suits poster art and editorial covers that lead on contrast.

Usage: brutalist poster art, zine and editorial covers, band and gig posters, streetwear prints, exhibition and event graphics, book jackets, and high-contrast social sets.
