Abstract

In an electronic image reproduction system, a halftone dot film of a density distribution of a specific pattern is produced by obtaining a value l expressed by an equation l=f(x)+g(y) representative of the specific pattern corresponding to the density value. By superimposing a density signal corresponding to the value l on an image signal developed by scanning an original, a reproduction image of the original, modulated by the density signal of a specific pattern, is obtained.
