Abstract

Method to improve the printing quality at reproduction of half-tone originals by means of printers of the type, in which a number of dots are brought together in a cell (pixel). A minimum of two dots form a cell where each dot in the cell is controlled individually with respect to the size and/or the color value. The dots form a pattern in each cell, which is variable with respect to the number of dots, the dot size and/or the dot color value.
