Mister Retro releases Permanent Press for Photoshop….give your projects that ”crappy printing” look on purpose

permpress 20080813 152639 Mister Retro releases Permanent Press for Photoshop....give your projects that crappy printing look on purposeI have been a fan of Mister Retro’s Machine Wash Photoshop Filters for a long while now. Today, the company released a new plug-in called Permanent Press.

With this new filter set you can simulate authentic looking rubber stamp, offset and letterpress printing effects with that vintage tactile look that previously could only be achieved by shoddy production work, under maintained machinery and disgruntled pressman. Now you can have the whole shebang for USD$99 and you’ll be set to make convincing looking antique comic books, advertising, packaging, matchbooks, etc.

Using the filters is simple: experiment! The interfaces for Mister Retro’s filters have always been one of the most pleasurable parts of using them. They encourage “play” and maintain the vintage theme that helps you transport yourself as well as your artwork to those olden days you are trying to emulate.
