Abstract

No detectable functional relationship was found between dot area and dot density within a solid ink density and paper combination over a 65 to 300 line screen range.

Dot spread, measured as per cent difference from the per cent dot value of the half tone negative, was found to be more significant in the midtones and the 300 line screen was observed to increase spread appreciably as well as variability with tints.
