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.

Click on the appropriate icon to select the type of Halftone

desired:

Generally, default settings at 0% produce the best image quality.

However, you can change these settings to produce special effects.
