Title: Screening apparatus and screening method
Inventor: UCHIYAMA YUJI
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2007-08-08
Abstract: In a CTP or CTF printmaking by means of an ink jet system, a tone gap (discontinuity) or a non-linearity is improved, so that high tone reproducibility can be realized. A screening device inputs density information of an original picture, uses a halftone dot pattern corresponding to the input density, and generates halftone data to express a tone corresponding to light and shade of the original picture. The screening device is provided with a means for optimizing the halftone dot pattern comprised of a combination of halftone dots. The halftone dot pattern is comprised of a combination of one or a plurality of the same or different kinds of halftone dots out of a plurality of kinds of halftone dots with the different number of dots while the optimizing means optimizes combinations of dots so that a relationship between a character printing area of an output machine formed by the halftone dot pattern and the input density may become a desired function.
