Abstract:
Threshold values in a dither matrix according to the present invention are arranged such that in a case where screen processing is executed on a multi-tone image that has a first density, halftone dots are formed at a first screen angle, and in a case where screen processing is executed on a multi-tone image that has a density being higher than a second density that is higher than the first density, halftone dots are formed at a second screen angle that is different from the first screen angle.

Claim (Index 11):
The dither matrix according to  claim 7 ,\n wherein threshold values around the third reference point are arranged such that, in a case where a value of a multi-tone image in a unit area is no less than the second value, a third dot that is centered around the third reference point and a dot that is located near the third dot are combined together, and thus halftone dots are formed at the second screen angle that is different from the first screen angle.
