Pressed turns your photos into real risograph and screen prints, entirely on your device. Most "print" filters just lay a flat duotone over your photo. Pressed builds the print the way a real press does: it separates your image into spot inks, screens each ink as its own halftone at its own angle, overprints them in linear light so two inks mix into a believable color, and lets the paper stock show through. The result reads as a pulled print, because it is built like one. WHAT IT DOES - A full library of presses: one to four inks on real paper stocks, from crisp blueprint to warm three color. - A custom palette editor: build your own press from any ink and paper, with per ink tonal control. - Real paper under the ink: every sheet has its own tooth, and the ink skips the low points the way it does on an uncoated stock. Set how rough the paper is. - Watch the press run: the sheet goes back to bare paper, then the plates land one at a time, lightest ink first. - Authentic print physics: per ink halftone screens, registration drift, ink bleed, dot gain, and a density ceiling. - Color separation by hue, live preview, and hold to compare with the original. - Print ready separations: each ink as its own page in a PDF, with crop and registration marks, for a real riso or screen printer. - Die cut stickers: lift the subject out and export a transparent sticker with a white keyline. - Made for zines: press your pages, export them, and print the issue. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. Your photos never leave it. There is no account, no cloud, and no tracking. Made for zine makers, sticker and poster artists, and anyone who loves the look of real ink on paper. Press the art, lay out the issue, and take the pages to a riso shop or a copy shop. Free exports carry a small Pressed mark and reach 4096 px. Removing the mark, exporting up to 6000 px, the print-ready separations, the die-cut stickers, and some presses are a one-time purchase, never a subscription. ## Key features - Authentic risograph and screen print simulation - Spot ink separation and halftone screening - Customizable ink and paper palettes - Die cut sticker mode - Print-ready separations for professional printing - Watermark-free exports ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Pressed Plus: Print Studio | $9.99 | one-time | ## Frequently asked questions about Pressed ### What is Pressed?

Every stock now has its own tooth, and the ink skips its low points the way it does on real uncoated paper. A new Paper tooth control sets how rough the sheet is, and the paper picker shows the actual stock instead of a flat colour. Watch the press run. Tap the new control on the preview and the sheet goes back to bare paper, then each ink plate lands one at a time, named as it arrives. Plus a long list of engine corrections: cleaner highlights on square and elliptical dots, ink texture that no longer stretches with the shape of your photo, and plates whose stated screen ruling always matches the pixels. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-10 Both inks now print. Multi-ink presses split a photo by hue, so each ink lays down the colours it is actually for and the overlaps mix the way ink does on a real press. Pink & Blue finally has pink in it. Prefer how it looked before? Every press keeps the old behaviour under Separation in the Inks sheet, as Duotone, and presses you saved keep the colour routing you made them with. Sharper dots. The halftone holds its shape all the way up the Dot gain slider instead of dissolving into flat tone past the halfway mark. Ink Level and Contrast. Two settings that were baked into every press now have their own sliders in Adjust. Citrus Noir. The old Citrus, kept as its own press: a dark duotone with yellow in the highlights. Sunset and Citrus print lighter. Both were laying down so much ink that half the sheet went solid. Raise Ink Level in Adjust if you liked them heavier. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-29 Separations now carry a real page size, so a plate opens at the size you meant to print. If you exported separations before, run them again. New controls for print work: - Set the screen ruling directly in lpi, within the range your export size can actually hold. - Choose the dot shape: round, square, or elliptical. - Choose the print resolution on export, 300 or 600 dpi. Better plates: - Each plate is numbered by pass, lightest ink first. - Plates export as true grayscale, so a preflight accepts them. - Every plate says it is already screened, so nothing screens it twice. Fixed: - Four presses printed two inks on the same screen angle. Violet Hour, Burgundy Press, Slate and Coastal now give each ink its own angle. Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-26 Separation plates now export the right way up. If you exported separations before, run them again. New for print and screen work: - Each separation plate shows its linescreen (lpi). - Set a screen angle per ink in the palette editor. - The Bleed slider is now called Dot gain, the printer's term. And a broad polish pass: - Preview a real separation of your photo before you buy. - A clearer paywall and free vs Plus boundary. - Close Photo, a hold-to-compare hint, and a steadier Adjust view. - Friendlier empty states, clearer errors, and better large-text and localization support. - Sharing a saved press now sends it under the name you gave it. Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming. ## More apps by AHMET DUMAN - [GIF Battles](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gif-battles/id6760758419) - [Pairframe: Matching PFP](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pairframe-matching-pfp/id6775161341) - [Daily Knot: Untangle Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-knot-untangle-puzzle/id6777734133) - [Daily Galaxies: Logic Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-galaxies-logic-puzzle/id6777928966) - [Daily Suguru](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-suguru/id6777929305) - [Daily Loop: Slitherlink](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-loop-slitherlink/id6777929975) All apps by AHMET DUMAN: https://appshunter.io/developer/1886097677 ## Related topics [pressed](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/pressed) · [halftone](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/halftone) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
