Abstract

A combined dot density (FM) and dot size (AM) modulation halftoning method and system produces a halftone in which both the density and size of the dots are modulated. In addition to modulating the dot size and density, the halftoning method can also explicitly control the size of dot clusters and different intensity levels.
