USP-S | Printstream (Factory New)

The USP-S | Printstream (Factory New) is a Covert pistol skin — a stark black-and-white design lifted by pearlescent highlights. Factory New is the top grade, showing the finish at its most vivid before any wear touches the surface.

Design

The look is built on hard black-and-white contrast, custom painted and finished with pearlescent highlights that catch the light as the pistol moves. It's a community design from the artist JTPNZ, whose futuristic take on the USP-S merges a clean graphic style with the silenced pistol's tactical shape.

USP-S | Printstream (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish runs 0.00–0.85, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that band. Here the black-and-white contrast is at its boldest and the pearlescent sheen reads with no scratching to interrupt it — the design exactly as intended. For anyone chasing the finish in flawless condition, this is the grade to reach for.

USP-S | Printstream Rarity

Rarity: Covert — the red tier, the highest of the standard weapon grades. It's a genuinely scarce pull, and on a fan-favorite pistol like this the Covert status only adds to the appeal.

USP-S | Printstream Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Recoil Collection and drops from the Recoil Case, released in July 2022. The Covert tier as a whole comes out at roughly 0.64% (a rate shared across the tier's skins), which makes any Recoil Case Covert a rare unbox — most copies change hands on the market rather than straight from a case.

USP-S | Printstream Patterns

Printstream has no random pattern roll — the black-and-white graphic and pearlescent highlights land the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt. Wear and float are the only things that separate one from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter; it drops from the Recoil Case as a rarer, pricier variant, and the counter is permanent, carrying over when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and the Recoil Case has never been a Major drop.

USP-S | Printstream Price

Factory New sits at the very top of the finish's price ladder, a clear step above Minimal Wear. This is a high-end, grail-tier pistol skin, and the flawless grade commands the biggest premium of the lot. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the premium?

If you want the design at its absolute best, yes. Factory New shows the boldest contrast and the fullest pearlescent sheen with zero surface wear, and it's the most sought-after grade for collectors. Minimal Wear looks close for less, so the premium is really about owning the top condition.

Which gloves go with the Printstream?

Its monochrome black-and-white palette is easy to pair — white, black, or gray gloves all slot in cleanly and keep the look sharp. A pair with a hint of chrome or a cool tone plays off the pearlescent highlights, while plain black wraps lean into the stealthy, silenced-pistol vibe.

Does Factory New affect the pearlescent look?

It shows it off best. At Factory New there's no scratching over the surface, so the pearlescent highlights read at full strength and the black-and-white edges stay razor-defined. Lower grades keep the design recognizable, but the sheen is cleanest and most striking here.
