adding printed effect to fonts

adding printed effect to fonts

Hello, is there a way or filter to give fonts this effect? like they been scan after printing. 

Sure - it's easy to get the basics: grain/noise and the slight defocused look, and I'm sure someone will post exactly how they would add these efx. 

That being said, there are other characteristics of the image that need to be replicated for a completely accurate look including missing inkjet dots within each letter, and errant dots from the inkjet near each letter, what appears to be slight texture to the paper. In addition, there is a slight bit of chromatic aberration. 

Well I didn't save the psd but this is how I did it.

If I was really attempting to produce a simulation as close as humanly possible to the original, the only other thing I might have done would be to add just a smidgen of simulated chromatic aberration. The background just above each dark area is a bit warmer than a pure white, but cooler below each area of dark pixels. 

Cheers,

First use whatever type you require (obviously). Rasterize then add a slight Gaussian blur. Create a new layer and Render - Clouds. I then set the Blending mode of the text layer to diffuse and added one of the default textures over the top that kinda looked like paper.

This creates a pretty uniform looking type, but like Tom said you'll need to go over by band and create those little imperfections if you want it to look genuine.

If no one beats me to it, I'll be happy to demonstrate how to do these effects when I get home late tonight and can use my Photoshop computer.
