Im making a hammer and on and what i need is for this decal on the hammer to look more like it was printed(I.e like a food label or warning disclaimer on the back")
heres the image.

Thanks! if anyone has any tips thatd be great
try something like reducing the transparency
not done and im going to tweak it but man was I able to get such a high resolution image on this mesh. the text is crystal clear up close
I would give it a white background with missing pieces or grey marks to look like it was a sticker that was attempted to be peeled off, or I would make some parts faded/mushed.
yeah thats most likely what im going to try. make it old and ripped a bit
And heres before
FINALLY. got it to look like it was printed. I put a outline to make it look better and I think it looks great. marking this as closed. if anyone needs help
go to FILTERS → NOISE → HSV NOISE then apply it(it does not really matter if its perfect or not, don’t let your ocd try to make it look like mine over and over. its fine either way and will work 100% 
Then if you want you can go to filters → Blur, and apply a slight guassin blur
OOF something went horribly
I put a alphabet cyber at the bottom of the hammer as a fun easter egg. when decoded it says
“Memory is the key, RVB, Rip rooster teeth”
A reference to one of my favorite shows that made up my childhood red vs blue and there unfournite closure as a homage. There were no links in it. looks like im going to have to make it more obvious because I did not think at the time that having random numbers in a code looks very suspious and looks like offsite behavior.
Nevermind got it appealed.
I should have put “SERVICE NUMBER” to represent it like a product. instead of just “SERVICE” because it made it seem like a API id or service ID or link instead of a easter egg.
