Made from 100% Real Photocopies
Inspired by 90s alternative rock flyers, half-dead high school photocopy machines, and the possibilities of cheap mass duplication.
The Photocopy Hate Machine textures and resources were lovingly assembled for you from REAL photocopies. Made in REAL copy shops. With REAL people staring at us like we were crazy.
Then we scanned and processed these at 1200 DPI to capture every speck of toner.
Here's everything you get when you buy the pack:- 55 photocopy bitmap TIFFs (average size of 10,000 x 13,000 pixels)
- 32 photocopy Photoshop .abr brushes (average size of 2000 pixels)
- 1 template set up for instant results (4000 x 2662 pixels)
Grab the Photocopy Hate Machine, crank up your favorite 90s alternative album, and make some photocopy magic!
Choose the Texture Type That's Right for You
Each project you work on is different. So you need the right tools for the job. That's why we're giving you three different ways to add photocopy textures to your work.
Texture Type #1. Bitmap TIFFsThese high-resolution files are your bread and butter. Throw 'em on to your design and they do their magic.
Texture Type #2. Photoshop BrushesPhotoshop brushes (.abr files) are as classic as a Fender Strat. They're also flexible and dead simple to use.
Texture Type #3. TemplateAhh, the lazy man's method for creating great looking photocopy work. Just place your work into the file, adjust the settings, and export your file. It only takes 1-2 minutes to get killer results. But clients and friends will think it took hours.
Photocopy Textures from the Wild
You probably know that when it comes to textures we love making products as authentic as possible for you.
The Photocopy Hate Machine is no exception.
Suzanne Sarver (partner in crime at RetroSupply Co.) knew from the beginning that we wanted REAL photocopy textures. Ones no one else could get but us.
So we swallowed our pride and proceeded to go to copy shops and get concerned glances as we used copy machines the WRONG way.
Imagine if Sonic Youth was a two people that experimented with copy machines instead of sound. That's us (okay, we're not really that cool - but it's a nice picture).
You Deserve the Best... so we worked our asses off.
You spend your days perfecting your craft. Whether you're an illustrator, an in-house designer, a bass player making your bands artwork, or a dabbler in the dark arts of design.
We put the same hard work into making a texture pack you'd love.
We wanted you to have a texture pack that you'd come back to time and time again. And if you love the gritty toner goodness of copy machines this is the pack for you.
We hope you enjoy using the pack as much as we enjoyed making it!

What's up with the name Photocopy Hate Machine? Yeah, it's a funny and weird name. The idea came from a long conversation about what a hate machine is (per NIN Pretty Hate Machine), a hilarious comic from The Oatmeal that uses the phrase "printer hate machine", and the term pretty hate machine on Google Answers.
