Comic-Tone Process Color System
StudioWorks proudly presents the • C O M I C - T O N E • P R O C E S S • C O L O R • S Y S T E M • — a collection of swatches and brushes for replicating the look of vintage four-color process printed art in Adobe Illustrator.
Early offset printing utilized a limited palette of color generated from percentages of the four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). StudioWorks painstakingly recreated 128 formula-accurate swatches with the proper moiré-free screen angles to generate the entire Comic-Tone Silver Age Color Library. Now, adding that vintage halftone pattern to your vector art is as simple as clicking your mouse!
Looking for more of that authentic mis-registered, built process color? Brush it in layer-by-layer using the ready-made Comic-Tone Process Color Library.
Comic-Tone comes bundled with 27 halftone brushes so you can quickly add even more Ben Day goodness to your vector designs. Add to that a collection of 27 texture assets that replicate printing defects, including fine, dust and coarse textures as well as streaks, print hickeys and water stains.
We've also included Volume 1 of the Papertuity Infinite Texture System (a $15 value!) Choose from a collection of 10 high resolution, seamless paper texture swatches sourced from vintage/archived papers and materials.
