What We've Packed into InkChamp
Over three months, we spent a ridiculous amount of time researching, testing, and perfecting InkChamp.
The result is a set of Photoshop Actions that will let you capture a wide range of offset printing effects, from the inky mayhem of a tiny comic book mail-order advertisement to the cheap glossy print of sugary cereal box packaging.
Here's what's included:
- 24 Photoshop Actions. Quickly get a wide range of printing press effects in your work with these meticulously crafted Actions. Includes a guided step-by-step version as well as a fast version of the Actions.
- Fine-Tuned Controls. We've made the Actions non-destructive wherever possible so you can easily change your ink colors, viscosity, ink trapping, and plate settings.
- 6 Real Ink Textures. We sampled a wide range of real ink textures to get nuanced ink effects like low ink viscosity, high ink viscosity, cheap ink, mottling and more.
- 5 Paper Textures. Includes printing press paper so you can easily add seamless paper textures to your final work to finish the effect.
- Easy to Follow Instructions. We'll never leave you hanging with crappy instructions. InkChamp includes step-by-step detailed instructions to become a printing press master fast and frustration-free.
- [BONUS] 19 Printing Press Artifact Brushes. Quickly add authentic defects unique to offset printing, including pits, hickeys, anti-offset spray, and more.
The bottom line is that InkChamp will be your secret weapon for emulating the analog ink effects you love. We can't wait to share it with you!

What makes an illustration worth drooling for?
Some say the paper texture, and yes it's important, however ink absorption effects are crucial to achieve that authentic vintage feeling. InkChamp is a top noch game changer, I own an apparel brand and we launch 10 different designs each month, starting as hand-drawn illustrations evolving into complex art designs printed on cotton, I can't afford to waste time; InkChamp gives me what I need in less than 10 seconds, no joke. You can choose the quick actions that honestly are perfectly designed, or you can adjust them to achieve specific results, no expert in photoshop? no problem, I'm not one either; Ink Champ guides you through the effects to achieve the desired effect. RetroSupply has made my life MUCH easier and streamlined my design process. InkChamp is the best tool you can have if your work needs that authentic look and you have a bussy life, honestly it's like magic, I love it.

It creates a wonderful FX, real, like the old days. Very customizable and adjustable. It's amazing.
- ATApril T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsPerfect textures and distressing
The InkChamp actions exceeded my expectations in every way. They were easy to use - I've only scratched the surface of what they can do and I am completely impressed with the authentic look of the press marks and "defects". It was easy to learn and in just a few minutes I had an authentic looking sign ready to print. It added a layer of texture and depth to my artwork that I was struggling to get prior to finding RetroSupply! I would recommend this to any designer looking to add some vintage flair to their pieces.

- ALAmy L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsExcellent product released right when I needed it!
InkChamp is indeed a champ! I had a project where I needed to emulate the look of an old newspaper with print defects and this product came out just as I was getting started. It saved me so much time and was easy to use. The guides within the action were so helpful and I appreciate how much customization is possible at each step of the process to achieve just the right look. The PDF guide was so helpful in explaining the steps and how to adjust the effects, and I really appreciated the explanations of how the causes of the different defects. Thanks for all the time, effort, and attention to detail put into this product.
