# Stencil Duplicator Print: motion graphics style

> Fluorescent pink, blue and yellow spot colors print one pass at a time with grainy, uneven ink. Drifting misregistration overprints them into new colors. Based on stencil duplicator printing, loved for zines, gig posters and indie brands.

## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Make [TEXT] look like a three-color stencil duplicator print. Uncoated off-white paper slides in, then three flat spot-ink layers print one pass at a time with a roller wipe: yellow first (a big sun disc and stripes), then fluorescent pink ([TEXT] in a wide, heavy display sans), then medium blue ([TEXT] again offset down-right as a shadow, a coarse halftone disc and small caption text). Inks overprint like multiply so overlaps turn orange, purple and green. Give every layer grainy, patchy coverage with tiny white dropouts and faint horizontal banding. Keep each color a few pixels out of register and let the offsets drift slowly; add crosshair registration marks in the corners that show the shift. Hold, then eject the sheet and feed the next one.

## Visual DNA

- Fluorescent pink, medium blue and yellow spot inks overprinting by multiply
- Grainy, patchy ink coverage with white dropouts and faint roller banding
- Layers drift a few pixels out of register; corner marks reveal the offset
- Uncoated off-white paper fed in, printed color by color, then ejected
- Coarse halftone gradients and a wide, heavy display sans
