Tips for better results
- Tip 01
Adjust the threshold until the key shapes of your subject stay readable; small changes make a big difference.
- Tip 02
Add noise gradually. A little texture looks real, a lot hides the subject.
- Tip 03
Try a coloured ink on cream paper for a riso-meets-photocopy hybrid.
