halftone
Definition
Reproduction of a solid (continuous tone), real-life image, that has an infinite variety of shades or colors, into an image consisting of tiny dots. Commercial, inkjet, and laser printers cannot reproduce solid images without breaking them down into very small dots by using fine screens (grids). To create an illusion of shade, dots of different size are used because smaller dots look lighter and bigger dots look darker.
