Halftone is tone made of dots, the printer's answer to grey and now an idiom of its own. These nine render a dog, a letter and a beach, each in one ink, four-colour process and a two-ink overprint. Ask for a different subject — an animal, a monogram, a landscape — and the same three press treatments carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each render is composed at a clean square-friendly crop, suited to a print, a poster or a merchandise mockup.
Can I get a different subject, like an animal or a landscape?
Yes — the direction field takes any subject, and the same three press treatments render it.
What's the difference between the three presses?
One ink shows dots in a single colour, four-colour process builds full colour from overlapping dot screens, and the two-ink overprint layers two colours' dot patterns together.
Is this a real printed piece or a rendered image?
It's a rendered image styled to look like halftone printing — there's no physical print run made or photographed.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
