What is "halftone"?
Halftone is a printing technique used to reproduce images by breaking them down into small dots of varying sizes and spacing. These dots simulate different shades of gray or color when viewed from a distance. This method allows for the creation of detailed images in print, such as in newspapers or magazines, by using a limited number of ink colors to represent a full range of tones. The pattern of dots blends together to create the illusion of continuous tones in the final printed image.
