ABSTRACT:
The disclosed system and method provide a binary image generation method. Used, for example, in a digital reprographic system, the method is suitable for eliminating printing artifacts for high addressable binary digital output, such as digital copies, using an optimized ordered error diffusion method with dynamically computable quantization error and dynamic binary output calculation.
