Souvenir M4A1-S | Printstream (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Printstream is recognised by its white suppressor, ribbed white handguard and small black symbols across the receiver. In Field-Tested the light paint starts to collect visible scuffs and greyish grime, especially on edges and the suppressor. The overall white-and-black look is still clear from a normal distance.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The suppressor is painted white with black script-like line art and a thin black band near its rear end. The handguard is white with fine horizontal ribs, while the barrel, front sight, pistol grip and stock stay black, framing the light body.

Scuffs and greyish grime spread along the suppressor, the handguard ribs and the magazine edges. Some fine lines on the suppressor and receiver begin to soften. In game the white body looks slightly dull, though the design is easy to recognise. The central receiver graphics usually still look fairly clean.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Black, white, silver and holographic or foil stickers fit the monochrome pearlescent design best. A single colour accent, placed on the receiver or near the magazine, can stand out against the white without breaking the style.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear range, since white paint shows every bit of wear more clearly than dark finishes.
• Check the suppressor tip and the magazine edges first, as they wear before the rest of the rifle.
• Inspect the receiver graphics on worn copies to see how much of the black line art is still intact.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied, because they change the clean white look.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who mainly care about the recognisable black and white design during matches.
• Buyers looking for a mid-range copy, ideally with a float near the cleaner end.
• Conclusion: a practical everyday option for using the rifle.
