Tips for better results
- Tip 01
Pick inks that contrast strongly, such as a warm pink with a cool blue, so the overlap colour stands out.
- Tip 02
A little misregistration feels authentic; too much makes the subject hard to read.
- Tip 03
Choose a slightly off-white paper colour for a more handmade look.
