Halftone Screen

Halftone is a printing method in which the relative darkness, density, and size of tiny dots are varied to show changes in color and brightness. The amount of detail shown by a halftone depends upon the number of dots per inch, and the more dots per inch, the more detail in the print. A halftone is sometimes called a screen.

To select a halftone screen:

Depending on your print driver, do one of the following:
- Select the Image Options tab.
- On the Image Options tab, select the Enhancements subtab.
For Halftone Screen, select an option. The more dots you select, the more detail in the print job.
Note: Stochastic halftone screening uses a process based on random distribution dots where you specify the density of dots according to the gray level desired. Stochastic is designed to avoid creating moire patterns. The random nature of stochastic halftone screening excels in rendering photographs.
A moire pattern consists of two sets of parallel lines with one set inclined at an angle of five degrees to the other.
