Hi,
I’m trying to achieve an effect like the one shown in the linked picture below (a sort of low-res print effect, with print dots visible). Any ideas on how to make somethig like that, with photoshop or maybe some other vectorial sw, like illustrator?

Hi Pietro,

Here’s one way. Convert to grayscale, then bitmap, specifiy the halftone option, and select the appropriate line frequency and pattern. —
