Halftone
Halftone is an array in which dots are placed to simulate colors and shades 
of gray. Use the Halftone settings to improve the appearance of pictures and 
graphics. A Halftone is chosen automatically when you choose a document 
type from the Main tab. However, you can change the Halftone setting to 
customize your print job. 
You may need to experiment with different Halftone options to determine 
which setting is best for a particular picture or graphic.
