Whilst browsing for screen-prints to decorate the Artifex Forge office it occurred to me that there was no way to quickly, and easily, create subtle grungy screen-print textures and frame edges in Illustrator. So, I created Poster Press – Illustrator Screen Print Brushes and textures, the easiest way to make your very own authentic looking prints!
The pack contains authentic looking, messy ink textures and frame brushes, which were all made from real printed ink. These have been packaged into one-click graphic styles so you can transform your designs and illustrations in seconds.
All the textures and frames can be adjusted after application, and you can even try layering multiple textures or different brush and texture combinations to further customize the look.
Make sure you look at the full-sized screen-shots to see the messy inky detail!

I love Artifex Forge’s products because they encourage you to use your imagination.
There are such a range of products with a wide variety of authentic materials, I have this particular product in my Artifex Forge folder filed under “Fine Art”, because it produces such an realistic printmaking effect. Other products I own that replicate the fine art look are: The Linocut Toolkit, Hand Rolled Ink Brushes, Wax Crayon Brushes, Charcoal Brushes, Torn Edge Brushes for a collage effect, and the extremely versatile Ultimate Texture Brush Library, all excellent products.
