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!

Although it is a Photoshop action, the tutorial is easy to understand, so it is easy to close.

I bought DupliTone & ColorLab after a colleague recommended it, and they were immediately awesome. I realized I should get InkChamp (assuming it would be equally awesome) to round out the potential of these textures. I then spent three days absorbed in the trio - so many doors have opened creatively! The Photoshop Actions are both very intelligently designed, and very straightforward to make creative adjustments. With all results being non-destructive layers, I've been running multiple options and leaving the final edits until later. As a kid, I spent a lot of time with old school comic books learning to draw, and InkChamp's textures are spot-on - like I just stumbled into a time machine. Thanks Retro Supply Co!
- ALAmy L.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 days agoExcellent 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.

After about 3 hours of messing around I started to understand how to get the best results. I'd say that is an acceptable learning curve for actions wth this many options. Once you figure it out it's super easy to use. The results are very convincing, as you would expect from RSCO.
RCRetroSupply Co.2 weeks agoHi Kent,
Thank you for your purchase and for taking the time to review InkChamp! There can be a learning curve, and this will be impacted by the user's foundation of both printing and Photoshop actions. We're happy to hear you were able to get into the swing of things and are satisfied with your purchase.
