Thermal Print Blur Effect

The treatment mimics a gas-station receipt left in a hot glovebox. It runs lettering or a logo through a receipt printer, where the black marks smear and blur as the heat catches the coated paper unevenly. A Smart Object drops in the artwork, and the blur and dense thermal grain rebuild on a grey receipt stock.

Usage: receipt-style graphics, gig posters, zine spreads, streetwear prints, logo treatments, packaging labels, flyer headlines, and experimental editorial.
