Abstract
A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for providing improved print quality regardless of media smoothness is disclosed. Information regarding the smoothness of media is ascertained and the information about the media smoothness is used in the generation of an output. A selectable halftone screen is used in the print device to provide different halftone screens for different media smoothness. The halftoning screens can be changed depending on the roughness of the media being used. Pre-defined halftone screens may be stored and selected for a range of media smoothness. The selection of the pre-defined halftones may be selected by the operator or may be selected automatically by the print device.
