Overprint vs tone+

Overprint turns a photo into a screen-printed poster, the way a real print shop would pull it: separated by tone, screened into halftone dots, and laid down one spot ink at a time. This isn't a filter. Every layer is a real screen. Drag the squeegee and the ink develops across the sheet, heavy where you pull slow, thin where you pull fast, so no two pulls are the same. THE PRESS - Import any photo and Overprint auto-levels it onto the ink, so bright subjects read instead of washing out to bare paper. - Real halftone screening with per-ink angles, so the inks interleave instead of muddying, exactly like a physical press. - Overprint two inks and the overlap multiplies into a third color, the effect the app is named for. - Set text in heavy poster type and place it anywhere on the sheet. - Warm paper stocks with real tooth, from bright white to midnight. PULL BY HAND - Grab the squeegee and pull. Speed and dwell become ink body and gradient. - Split-fountain and gradient pulls roll one ink into another across the sheet. - Tune each ink's body, screen angle, and registration. EXPORT AND SHARE - Share a clean, web-ready poster for free, with a small Overprint mark. - Overprint Plus removes it and unlocks the full print shop: full-resolution files, one file per ink separation for the printer, a proof PDF with registration and crop marks, and apparel mockups.

Family Sharing and a free Restore. - Take home prints with 3 to 6 spot inks - Premium inks: a metallic gold with a real glint, a fluoro magenta glow - Manual press controls: split-fountain and gradient pulls - Print-grade export: full resolution, separations, and a proof PDF Made for anyone who loves the look of a screen-printed gig poster, a risograph zine, or a two-color art print, without the ink under your nails.

Separate. Press. Print. Zero ads. 100% free. tone+ is an app that genuinely reprints your photos as Risograph art. It doesn't just slap a color filter over your image; it mathematically simulates the physical phenomenon of analog printing. ■ The Printing Process We break your photo down into separate color plates, convert them into halftones, and print them layer by layer. The app perfectly replicates the beautiful, unpredictable imperfections of a real printing press: • Misregistration ― Plates shift slightly, creating vibrant, off-register edges. • Dot Gain ― Ink bleeds into the paper, fattening the halftone dots. • Ink Unevenness ― Imperfect roller pressure creates authentic texture variations. • Paper Grain ― Paper fibers absorb ink differently, altering the visual texture. • Overprinting ― Where two inks overlap, a rich third color is naturally born. That’s why when you zoom in, you see actual halftone dots. Change the paper stock, and you change how the ink sinks in. Print with just two inks, and watch a third magically appear in the overlap. ■ Inks & Papers Choose from 14 classic Risograph inks: Fluorescent Pink, Blue, Bright Red, Black, Green, Medium Blue, Orange, Sunflower, Cornflower, Yellow, Aqua, Teal, Purple, and Burgundy. Want something specific? You can dial in your own custom colors. Print on 5 paper stocks: White, Natural, Cream, Gray, and Kraft. Just like real life, the paper dictates how the final ink looks. ■ Simple UI, Deep Controls When you open tone+, you just see your photo and a dice. Tap the dice to roll a completely random, beautiful print. Not quite right? Just swipe left or right to seamlessly browse your print history and undo/redo. Ready to get technical?
