About this Component
Recreate real CMYK offset printing on any image — separate Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black ink layers with their own halftone dots, just like a print press. Way more depth and authenticity than a single-tone halftone filter.
Features
True 4-channel separation — independent Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black ink colors, each with its own dot layer
3 dot types — Dots, Ink, and Sharp, each with a different printed character
Flood & Gain per channel — uniformly flood a channel with ink, or boost/reduce its existing dots proportionally, for classic print misregistration effects
Grid noise — displaces dot positions and color sampling for a less mechanical, more hand-printed feel
Grain layer — mix grain into the dot shapes or add a full post-processing grain overlay, with independent grain size
Built in Paper style, running on a lightweight, zero-dependency shader engine for smooth performance

How to use
Add the Halftone CMYK component onto your canvas
Upload the image you want to convert into a CMYK print effect
Pick a Type (Dots for a classic look, Ink or Sharp for a more graphic edge)
Adjust Size and Softness to set how big and crisp the dots are
Fine-tune each channel's Flood and Gain to push the print toward warmer, cooler, or more saturated tones
Optionally add Grid Noise and Grain for a more authentic, hand-printed finish
Shader powered by Paper Shaders.
