Light Print Texture Brushes

SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY – these brushes work with Illustrator only. An Affinity Designer version is available HERE

Paying attention to all the subtle flaws and marks that are left from under-inked printing or simply the passage of time, the Artifex Forge has carefully captured these subtle textures from genuine vintage printed ink to give you the perfect finishing touch for any retro design.

The brushes are ideal for adding texture to more than just emulated print – try for yourself to see the superb texture depth that comes from layering these brushes! Even better, you don’t need to apply brushes in a complicated and time-consuming way to achieve the effects demonstrated in the preview.

First, use the large, sparse print noise brushes to cover big areas easily and efficiently. Secondly, apply the light print noise brushes on areas where you want stronger texture. Finally, use the halftone, clustered print noise and random print texture brushes to finish your design with those all-important extra details. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…
