Distorted Printer Poster Effect

A tribute to broken machines and half-dead ink cartridges. The effect pulls your image through a metaphorical office printer on its last leg: streaks, crush, blur. This vertical-format PSD intentionally brings character to photos that feel too polished. Use it on fashion portraits, editorial collages, mixtape covers, street posters, mood boards, or short film titles. Especially effective when paired with bold type or grainy monochrome shots.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
