ABSTRACT:
A halftone spot function, for determining a shape of a halftone spot as a function of the intensity of an image being printed, is generated by creating one or two line segments forming a part of the shape of the spot function or by creating a number of contour lines that are interpolated to form the function. A halftone spot pattern is generated as a number of supercells, each of which includes a number of halftone spots, each defined within a halftone spot cell by a halftone spot function, with the supercell being defined to include a number of device pixels, each of which is fully inked of left without ink, a number of spot cells in each direction, and offset distance establishing angles of the lines dividing the spot cells from one another.
