What is a halftone?
The technical definition: a halftone is a matrix of different size dots which allow printers to simulate tonal variation when printing with a single ink on press. What this means: a halftone allows you, using one color ink, to approximate various shades of color. Take a magnifying glass and look at a black and white photo printed in your local newspaper. Youll notice the image is actually made up of different size dots. The smaller the dot, the lighter the color in the halftone.
