Free Halftone Dots Brushes, Color Chart and CMYK set-up

[iuli]

A preview of B&W strokes and their corresponding CMYK colors:

The Halftone Chart uses a traditional CMYK color palette with “absolute“ values (C:100, M:100, Y:100, K:100, everything else set to zero). Replace them with different values in the CMYK panel of each swatch, according to your needs. Set CMY to stronger values and K to lower value to avoid strong black patters.

 

A short video about setting a CMYK document plus the brushes in action:

ZIP includes Halftone Brushes, Color Palette, document setup, Color Chart folder with individual PNG pieces on transparent background (import them to document, set them to Multiply over the paper of your choice and save it yourself)

You can use and modify all the resources found here for personal and professional work.

Why didn't you upload the resources to the forum itself?
People are very hesitant to download from a cloud source.
You know; malware, viruses and such.

In so many words — I have only 40mb of space and no access to erase stuff uploaded on older posts 🤷‍♂️

Hi, I've been trying to add these to Affinity Designer on ipad. Do they work on that? I cannot see them in the app. I copy the afbrushes file to the ipad, then go to brushes in the app and add new, but nothing happens. Is there any obvious error I'm making? Thanks

Hi @Helpplease

I'm not familiar with iPads. In the desktop version of Designer, there is a distinction between vector brushes and pixel brushes. The Pixel Brushes can be accessed via the Pixel Persona in Designer. And I think the halftone brushes are pixel brushes.
