MADE FROM 100% REAL PHOTOCOPIES

Inspired by 90s alternative rock flyers, half-dead high school photocopy machines, and the possibilities of cheap mass duplication.

The Photocopy Hate Machine textures and resources were lovingly assembled for you from REAL photocopies. Made in REAL copy shops. With REAL people staring at us like we were crazy.

Then we scanned and processed these at 1200 DPI to capture every speck of toner.

CHOOSE THE TEXTURE TYPE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU
Each project you work on is different. So you need the right tools for the job. That's why we're giving you three different ways to add photocopy textures to your work.

TEXTURE TYPE #1. BITMAP TIFFS
These high-resolution files are your bread and butter. Throw 'em on to your design and they do their magic.

TEXTURE TYPE #2. PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES
Photoshop brushes (.abr files) are as classic as a Fender Strat. They're also flexible and dead simple to use.

TEXTURE TYPE #3. SMART PSD
Ahh, the lazy man's method for creating great looking photocopy work. Just place your work into the file, adjust the settings, and export your file. It only takes 1-2 minutes to get killer results. But clients and friends will think it took hours.

HARNESS THE POWER OF BITMAP TIFFS

Up until about a year ago I didn't know what was so great about bitmap TIFFS. Then I was watching a tutorial one day. The dude placed the bitmap TIFF into Illustrator. Then he got the Eyedropper Tool and selected a color.

Like magic this complex raster texture turned into a sharp, eye-catching texture that I could use in Illustrator. It was like discovering a long lost hidden treasure!

The point is, bitmap TIFFs let you relax and enjoy your work. The textures can be applied painlessly. No hassle. Just great looking textures.

PHOTOCOPY TEXTURES FROM THE WILD

You probably know that when it comes to textures we love making products as authentic as possible for you.

The Photocopy Hate Machine is no exception.

Suzanne Sarver (partner in crime at RetroSupply Co.) knew from the beginning that we wanted REAL photocopy textures. Ones no one else could get but us.

So we swallowed our pride and proceeded to go to copy shops and get concerned glances as we used copy machines the WRONG way.

Imagine if Sonic Youth was a two people that experimented with copy machines instead of sound. That's us (okay, we're not really that cool - but it's a nice picture).

YOU DESERVE THE BEST... SO WE WORKED OUR ASSES OFF.

You spend your days perfecting your craft. Whether you're an illustrator, an in-house designer, a bass player making your bands artwork, or a dabbler in the dark arts of design.

We put the same hard work into making a texture pack you'd love.

We wanted you to have a texture pack that you'd come back to time and time again. And if you love the gritty toner goodness of copy machines this is the pack for you.

We hope you enjoy using the pack as much as we enjoyed making it!
