Break images into Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Control dots, density and drift to create halftone prints that feel physical, imperfect and real.
Dottre is a virtual CMYK print system.
Deconstruct an image into four plates. Rebuild it using the logic of ink on paper.
Reshape your photos through halftone printing, offset processes, newsprint, and printmaking.
WORK IN DOTS, NOT PIXELS
Every image is rendered as a field of dots.
• Control dot size for detail or abstraction
• Push density to shift contrast and weight
• Move between clean reproduction and heavy print texture
From crisp editorial tones to raw, crushed blacks.
THINK IN PLATES
Break your image into CMYK layers and decide how each one behaves.
• Enable or isolate individual plates
• Render in color, mono, or negative
• Let channels collide, overlap, or fall out of sync
You’re not adjusting color.
You’re deciding how it prints.
INTRODUCE IMPERFECTION
Perfect registration is optional.
• Offset channels to create tension and movement
• Simulate mechanical misalignment
• Push subtle shifts or full separation
From barely-there drift to full analogue breakdown.
BUILT FOR PRINT CULTURE
Dottre is about character, not correction.
• Create poster-ready visuals
• Build images for zines and printmaking workflows
• Emulate real processes without presets
• Use paper stocks to add texture and tone
Everything is constructed, not applied.
CREATED WITH INTENT
For photographers, designers, and makers who care how an image is built.
Push it too far. Pull it back.
Find something unexpected.
YOUR WORLD IN PRINT
Take anything from your camera roll and turn it into ink, dots, and layers.
Because the image isn’t the final form. The print is.
