Landing page captured for the 2026-09-28 issue.

Worth noticing: Presets range from “Third Period Handout” and “Church Bulletin” to “Out of Toner” and “Leaky Cartridge.”

Field notes

The controls separate the simulated machine from the wear applied to the page: users can set exposure or fading, mechanical defects, resolution or grain, and paper tone. Optional details include three-hole punch marks, tractor-feed edges, and a site-attribution footer. The page lists a 30 MB upload limit and says processing is local to the browser.
