Rasteri Raster In AM (amplitude modulated) screening dots are situated in halftone screen in lines so that the distance of each screen dot is constant measured from middle point of the dot.
Piece of film containing a grid of lines that breaks light into dots as it passes through. The number of lines to the inch controls the coarseness of the final dot formation. The screen used depends on the printing process and the paper to be used, the higher the quality the more lines can be used.
Piece of film or glass containing a grid of lines that breaks light into dots. Also called contact screen and screen.
an engraved glass that is applied to convert pictures, tone photos, etc. to a series of dots for half tone printing.
Converts the original grey tones of continuous-tone copy into halftone dots for reproduction.
A screen made up of lines or dots, that when placed over an image makes it appear lighter or separates it into its' tone for printing.
A piece of film or glass containing ruled-angled lines used to break light into dots.
A film or plate used to create halftone dots
A grid in which the lines and spaces are of equal thickness and equidistant used in photographing an original for plate or block making.
A grid of parallel lines used to resolve continuous-tone copy into dots. The number of lines to the inch controls the coarseness of the final dot formation. The screen used depends on the printing process and the paper to be used; the higher the quality the more lines can be used.
An engraved glass through which continuous tone copy is photographed and reduced to a series of dots for halftone printing.
a glass plate or film placed between the original photograph and the film to be exposed. The screen carries a network of parallel lines. The number of lines to the inch controls the coarseness of the final dot formation. The screen used depends on the printing process and the paper to be used, the higher the quality the more lines can be used.
conventionally a glass plate cross-ruled with opaque lines leaving a grid of transparent squares and used to split a photographic into halftone dots.
A sheet of film or glass containing ruled right-angled lines, used to translate the full tone of a photo to the halftone dot image required for printing.
In traditional publishing, the screen through which a continuous-tone image is photographed, measured in lines per inch. Although digital halftones are not actually photographed through a screen, the term is still used to describe the size of the dots; the larger the dots (fewer lines per inch), the more grainy the image. Special screens can be used for special effects. See Mezzotint, Solarization
A pattern of tiny dots that is used for printing an image to simulate continuous tones.
A transparent material containing an opaque pattern of dots or lines. The screen is placed between a photosensitive material and a continuous-tone image to create a halftone image. The greater the number of dots or lines per inch the higher the resulting image resolution. See also: halftone contact screen; crossline screen.
A pattern of dots of different sizes used to simulate a continuous tone photograph, either in colour or black and white.
