This is a massive collection of photoshop textures and actions that simulate the old school letterpress ink print style. You will struggle to find a more comprehensive letterpress pack, this is huge at nearly 1gb. **Handmade relief printing** Everything in the pack has been printed by hand using a cast iron book binding press and an ink brayer. The textures vary from heavy to light ink and everything in between. The pack also has a good selection of rough and distressed ink textures with plenty of grunge, scratches and lines. You can mix any textures together to create an astonishing array of vintage printing styles. **Create vintage letterpress effects** It contains 30 main print textures that are all smart object ready and hi-resolution (3150 x 4498 @ 300 dpi). Just edit one smart object to see how your design looks with 30 different textures. Combine those with the set of 19 actions, 10 grunge overlays and 10 paper textures and you will be creating vintage letterpress textures in no time. **Overprint ink effects** I've even included a layer set that simulates real overprint ink. So you can have two colours that overlap to create a third colour. In fact, you can have as many as you want. **What's in the pack** - 1 Photoshop file - 30 main handmade print textures - 19 Photoshop actions - 10 Grunge ink overlays - 10 Real paper samples - Overprint ink layer setup **Rock and Roller** Just to clarify this is 1 photoshop file with 30 preset texture folders. Just drag and drop any artwork into the folder and the texture is applied—so it's really easy to use. The included actions complement the textures by adding subtle (and not so subtle) effects. **Requirements** Photoshop CS6 and above. A basic working knowledge of adobe Photoshop but video tutorial is included. **Rock and Roller video demo** https://vimeo.com/199865676 **How to update smart object** https://vimeo.com/199991582 If you need any help, or have questions just ask. --- **You might want to check out** Rolled ink textures 1—http://bit.ly/1H0mBp6 Rolled ink textures 2—http://bit.ly/1PFVAIH Spray paint pack—http://bit.ly/1LdL9Ww --- If you need any help, or have questions just ask.

Design Team member Melanie Stanczyk has this great how to distress article on the DT blog. I thought I'd share it over here -it's great and her layout is beautiful! Whenever I see her distress layouts I get motivated do do some rough edges! Here is how she does it. "This week, I thought I would share a distressing technique. I'm asked many times how I distress my pages and if I burn my paper. No, there's no burning involved...just lots of ink and patience! I've written step-by-step instructions explaining the way I distress my paper. I know everyone has their own methods and tools they like use so if you'd like to share your distressing techniques, please feel free! Step 1: Tear the paper around all 4 edges to get a textured edge. Step 2: This is what is looks like when 4 edges have been torn. Step 3: Next take a distress tool of choice. Honestly the foot sanding tool shown on the left of the photo below is my favorite tool and available at the $1.00 store. (I have 4 of them in lots of pretty colors!) Step 4: Use the foot sanding tool and rub around all the edges, it shapes them nicely and turns up the edges for texture. Be aware, there is going to be lots of paper dust flying around! I wish I would be able to share a better photo of this part. As you can probably see I'm using a back and forth motion, that way that paper will start to curl up. Step 5: If you rip parts of the paper, it's ok! It gives the paper character. I would recommend a few tears on the page. Step 6: Time to pick some ink. Tim Holtz distress inks are my must-have go-to inks (and I will be adding to my stash because all the new colors are in the store.) These are the 3 colors I almost always use for distressing: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain and Black Soot. Along with my blending tools. A great tip I have is to make some color cards or tags. Just swipe some ink on a spot and write the name of the ink near it. You can hold the card to your project to see what colors coordinate. This will save a lot of time and guess work. Step 7: Start with the lightest color, Antique Linen, and rub from the edge to about 2 inches into the paper. Here's an example of how it looks when the entire piece is inked with the first color. After this I go back with my sanding tool and rub it on the edges again. I also use my palm to bend up pieces. Step 8: Next take the 2nd color, Walnut Stain, and go from the edge to about 1 inch into the paper, really working it into the edges and creases. Step 9: Now, take the Black Soot ink and do just the very edges (this is how I get the burnt effect), get into the torn edges really well too. See how the black looks in the torn part. Step 10: When you are finished the edges should look like this. To begin the layout, I centered the distress paper on a piece of pattern paper from Webster's pages. By cutting out decorative elements from the papers I can embellish the layout. The pretty white butterflies and flowers are from a Prima vine. I cut the vine apart and used pop-dots to hold them down. I then painted over the top of the butterflies and flowers with some sparkly shimmerz product. For the hand cut bird shape, I used double popdots (a popdot stuck to a popdot) to give it lots of dimension. Also gave the bird a coat of glossy accents to perk him up a bit. All the Webster's Pages papers, Prima flowers, Prima bling are from BlueMoon Scrapbooking. The also carry the Tim Holtz Distress ink new colors and the older colors." ~Melanie
