Comparison of Hexagonal and Square Dot Centers for EP Halftones

摘要

Hexagonal dot packing seems to offer benefits for halftone printing compared to conventional square dot packing, but little practical experience has been reported. Taking advantage of recent refinements in digital electrophotographic (EP) printer technology, the authors conducted experiments on a commercially deployable system to assess whether the potential advantages of hexagonal dot packing are economically exploitable.
