Recreate halftone, risograph, stipple, and cross-hatching print marks from source tone.
Choose a tool
Choose Halftone for separated ink dots, Risograph for offset ink layers, Stipple for dots, or Cross Hatching for tonal lines. Set ink, paper and mark scale before adding print irregularities.
In this section
Halftone
Convert tone into print dots, lines, or ellipse screens with mono, duotone, and CMYK colour models.
Risograph
Simulate two-ink risograph printing with grain, density, plate offset, and misregistration.
Stipple
Translate tone into stippled dots for pen, ink, and scientific-illustration texture.
Cross-hatching
Draw layered hatch lines that respond to source brightness like engraved or comic shading.
