Dottre: Halftone Print Lab

Break images into Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Control dots, density and drift to create halftone prints that feel physical, imperfect and real.

Dottre turns photos into CMYK halftone prints.

Split images into Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Adjust dots, density and registration. Experiment with paper stocks, and use Portrait depth to separate subjects from their backgrounds before printing.

Built for photographers, designers and printmakers.

WORK IN DOTS, NOT PIXELS Every image is rebuilt from halftone dots.

• Control dot size and density.
• Create clean screens or heavy print textures.
• Shape contrast through the printing process.

THINK IN PLATES Build the image one plate at a time.

• View or isolate CMYK channels.
• Print in colour, mono or negative.
• Decide how each plate contributes.

PERFECT IS OPTIONAL Real print is rarely perfect.

• Offset channels.
• Introduce registration drift.
• Create subtle movement or bold separation.

BRING THE SUBJECT FORWARD Portrait photos can use depth information to separate subjects from the background.

• Isolate people naturally.
• Print onto coloured or textured paper.
• Create bold poster-style compositions.

CHOOSE YOUR SURFACE Print onto more than white paper.

• Newsprint
• Kraft
• Matte
• Fine Art
• Custom colours

MADE FOR PRINT Create posters, zines, artwork and experimental graphics.

Because sometimes the print is more interesting than the photograph.
