Lo-Fi Dirty Printer Effect

Color looks like it came off a tired office copier — flattened, grainy, and tinted with cool blues and pale yellows. Smallscratches and banding lines run across the surface, so portraits and objects feel like scanned ephemera. The set includes 2 high-quality PSD files for vertical and horizontal compositions, so the look stays consistent across posters, stories, banners, and landscape shots.

This effect works well for portrait photography, street snaps, editorial stories, music artwork, gig and party posters, zine layouts, social media graphics, and nostalgic branding pieces. You can use it for cassette or vinyl covers, lookbooks, fashion campaigns, playlist covers, YouTube thumbnails, and header images that need a strong retro print attitude.

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.
