A lot of Marvel NFT wraps sprinkle fake Ben-Day on a clean digital painting. From a phone grid the texture feels “comic.” At the size a cover deserves, the dots sit on top of the rendering like a screen, not like ink driven into paper.
The tell is the costume edge. Printed halftone breaks with the paper. Overlay dots ignore the fold of a cape and march in a perfect grid. When a review mentions texture, this is usually the complaint.
Colour holds make it worse. A flat hold with a dot overlay can turn a red torso into noise. Cover artists who still think in print separations sometimes leave a hold that the NFT file then multiplies.
If you are comparing a digital wrap to a scanned newsstand issue, do not treat matching dots as matching craft. One set was photomechanical. The other was a layer named “paper.”
