Abstract

An example system includes a color engine to separate an image into a plurality of color components. The system also includes a halftone engine to generate a plurality of halftone images based on the plurality of color components and a plurality of halftone screens. For each halftone screen, the halftone cell centers for that halftone screen occur at regular or semi-regular distances relative to a dot pitch. The plurality of halftone screens forms a high frequency moire pattern when the halftone screens are overlaid on each other. Each of the halftone screens have a granularity metric less than a threshold.
