AWP | Printstream was added to the game on March 31, 2025, as part of The Fever Collection, released with the Spring Forward update. The skin was created by JTPNZ. Three other Printstream skins by the creator were previously added to the game for the Desert Eagle, M4A1-S, and USP-S.
Most of the rifle's body, the barrel, and the scope are painted white and have a subtle pearlescent effect. The design is complemented by numerous black pictograms, geometric elements, technical markings, and a large XXXY inscription. The grip and part of the stock are finished in black. Their surfaces also feature small inscriptions and pictograms. Small pearlescent stripes are located above the trigger and on the grip, and their shades change depending on the lighting and the position of the weapon.
The skin's Float Value ranges from 0.00 to 1.00, which makes AWP | Printstream available in all exterior conditions. As the Float Value grows, almost no noticeable abrasions appear on the body. A patina gradually develops on the weapon's surface and becomes clearly noticeable at approximately 0.50. It makes the skin's color scheme slightly warmer and the black areas of the body noticeably lighter. At high wear levels, the hidden LOVE inscription becomes visible on the handguard. At the highest wear levels, the patina becomes especially pronounced.
The pattern index does not affect the skin's appearance.
The quality of AWP | Printstream is Covert. The skin is available in a StatTrak version. According to the creator, the visual style of the series was inspired by the works of Felipe Pantone, while the skin's name is connected to ASCII graphics and the term PrintStream used in Java.
