Misprint is a custom HTML theme for Tumblr’s desktop web, with a dense grid for visual work and accompanying notes. It suits illustrators, photographers, makers, design studios and independent publishers. Inspired by two-ink risograph printing, the design uses fluorescent pink and blue, duotone images and deliberately misregistered type to suggest an artist’s print sheet. You can customise the paper and ink colours, use full colour photos, smooth the paper texture and adjust the registration effect. A Print Spec field lets you add your own text.

The theme supports all Tumblr post types, with reblog trails and tags. Readers can use search or browse pages, and an ask box is included. Choose Paper and Text colours, then adjust Pink Ink and Blue Ink. Toggle Full Color Photos or Smooth Paper. Perfect Registration offers another presentation setting, and you can edit the Print Spec text.
