Bad Print Distort Effect

This bad print effect distorts your text and graphics with the lo-fi appeal of a jammed copy machine. Expect heavy streaks, ink smudges, center fold lines, and blown-out contrast, all wrapped in a rough monochrome texture that echoes underground posters and anti-design aesthetics.

The PSD comes in a high-resolution format (4500×3000 px, 300 dpi), includes a Smart Object layer, and features a built-in invert toggle to switch between light and dark base tones. The effect is a natural fit for experimental typography, editorial spreads, flyer art, mixtape covers, rave promos, punk zines, abstract branding, and social media visuals.

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.
