Line overlays

Line screens are the other half of halftone printing: instead of dots, tone is made from lines that get thicker in the dark areas. Horizontal lines also look like old TV and monitor scanlines.

Cross-hatch plates copy pen and engraving shading, useful for posters and illustration.

Transparent PNG · use Multiply or Normal at 30–100%. Rotate the plate for diagonal lines.
