Preset

Xerox

Harsh photocopy contrast and toner grit like a Xerox pass.

Xerox and other photocopiers flattened photographs into toner drama: crushed greys, sparkling grit, pages that looked urgent and homemade. Zines and flyer culture lived on that machine aesthetic.

Harsh contrast and toner texture push the preset toward the copy room rather than the darkroom.
