Abstract:
A method for reproducing an original image on an image carrier comprising the steps of:generating a conjoined first and second sub-image, each representative for a portion of said original image; defining an overlap region as a region where both sub-images give a contribution to the integral optical density of the image carrier; establishing for each sub-image a peripheral edge in said overlap region; increasing said contribution by said first sub-image from said peripheral edge of said first sub-image to said peripheral edge of said second sub-image; dividing said overlap region in a partition of microdots; and assigning to at least one microdot an intermediate microscopic density substantially different from a minimum and maximum microscopic density of said microdots; wherein the step of increasing said contribution comprises increasing the microscopic density of said microdots by density steps being smaller than half the difference between said maximum and minimum microscopic density.
