Broken Scanner Text Effect

The effect drags a headline through a jammed flatbed scanner, smearing the letters into long horizontal streaks of black ink and torn pixels across a distressed paper ground. Type goes into the Smart Object and the drag rebuilds around it, while the background color swaps to sit under any layout.

Usage: poster headlines, gig flyers, album covers, streetwear prints, music branding, zine spreads, event promos, and underground editorial.
