Screening

converts CT (Continuous Tone) and LW (Line Work) images
Screening
into information (halftone dots) that can be printed. The human eye
"smooths out" this information, which seems visually consistent with the
original picture. Thus, the more lines per inch, the more natural the image
appears.
Screening is achieved by printing dots in numerous shapes or lines in an
evenly spaced pattern. The distance between the screen dots or lines is
fixed and determines the quality of the image.
Printers can work with even amounts of toner and still produce a wide
range of colors when you use screening. The darker the color, the larger the
dot.
