What does the Print Stamp preset do?
Print Stamp converts images into a stylized black-and-white print effect using halftone screening, levels adjustment, blur, threshold mapping, and paper-like texture.
Why is halftone used?
Halftone simulates traditional print dot patterns, creating depth and a classic press-printed look.
What does the paper scan layer add?
Paper Scan introduces subtle grain and texture to mimic scanned or printed paper surfaces.
Can I control sharpness and contrast?
Yes. Adjust blur, levels, and threshold to move between soft printed ink and sharp graphic stamp effects.
Does it work for video?
Yes. The preset runs in real time on video, adding animated grain and print-style movement for dynamic editorial visuals.
What kind of images work best?
Portraits, illustrations, typography, and high-contrast compositions work especially well for achieving strong print-inspired results.
Can I make a print stamp effect in Photoshop?
Photoshop's Bitmap mode and Color Halftone get you part way, and cost you the rest of your color on the way. The Photoshop plugin applies the Print Stamp preset — halftone screening, threshold and paper texture — to an ordinary RGB layer.
