Read full description

Your photo, freshly printed. PRINT DOT is a small print shop for your photos. The halftone dots you see up close, the color plates sitting slightly off register, the way ink sinks into paper: PRINT DOT rebuilds that feel on top of a picture you already have. ■ Eight dot styles Fine Dot for a delicate screen. Bold Dot for big, poppy dots. Newspaper Dot for coarse monochrome. CMYK Dot for overlapping plates and misregistration. Soft Fade Dot for a gentle bleed. Grain Dot for film-like texture. Line Screen Dot for a poster look. Mono Ink Dot for one clean ink. The same photo comes out differently in every one. ■ Choose the ink Eleven ink palettes, including Vintage Red, Café Brown, Ocean Blue and Mono Black. Quiet one- and two-color runs, or something loud and neon. ■ Choose the paper Seven paper textures: smooth, rough, matte, recycled, newsprint, kraft and aged. Each one changes how the ink settles. ■ Tune it by hand Dot size, screen angle, contrast, ink bleed, paper character. Move the sliders until it looks right, and compare against the original photo at any time. ■ Keep your prints Saved work lines up in the in-app gallery. Favorite it, export it to Photos, or share it straight from there. ■ Everything stays on your iPhone All rendering happens on your device. Your photos are never uploaded. No account, no sign-in, and it works in airplane mode. ■ What's free Four dot styles, five inks and three papers. Pick a photo, adjust it and save it without paying anything. ■ PRINT DOT Premium (one-time purchase) One purchase unlocks all of this: · All eight dot styles · All eleven ink palettes · All seven paper textures · Export at a larger size · No watermark on your work It is not a subscription. You pay once, and on the same Apple ID you can bring it back with Restore Purchases after switching devices.
