Introducing the photocopy noise textures, volume 02!

The Shop is proud to introduce the little brother to its most popular product, the photocopy noise texture pack, volume 02!

Each of the ten (10) original textures were obtained by printing a black sheet through a laser copier of questionable quality, and then mistreating them with various scratching, folding, and rubbing techniques.

After that, the textures were scanned in at 1,200 ppi, slightly adjusted for even lighting in Photoshop, and then converted to 18"x24" @ 300 ppi documents. They are crisp as a winter morning.

Each texture is available in a positive (mostly black), and negative (mostly white) version.

Additionally, I decided to provide each textures as transparent PNGs (ideal to quickly add in a design, and to color them using a color overlay), and bitmap TIFFs (perfect to use in Illustrator for great, detailed texture effects without hogging down your system resources).

Some technical data:
- Ten (10) raster textures of toner noise and dust
- Sized to fit an 18"x24" canvas @ 300 ppi
- Bonus: negative versions
- Bonus: transparent PNG versions
- Bonus: bitmap TIFF format for llustrator

You can see some previews in the attachments. Note the recreation of the product hero shot entirely in Illustrator, using the TIFF versions, if you need to be convinced of their detail level.

You should check it out!
