○ Pattern Type: Dot, Bayer, Corner, 45 Degree [DEFAULT SETTING: Dot]
Each pattern type uses a different shape and arrangement of dots to compose the
shading effect of a raster image.
The following diagram is an example of the raster effects when using the different
pattern types.
○
Dithering Matrix: Variable depending on the Pattern Type selected. [DEFAULT
SETTING: 8x8]
This controls the resolution (dot size) and the number of dots the image is broken
down into for the dithering process. As an example, selecting 2 x 2 will shade with a 5-
grade halftone, where as an 8 x 8 Dithering Matrix will dither with a 65 -grade halftone.
The following diagram is an example of the raster effects when using the different
dithering matrices.
○ Enhance Dithering [DEFAULT SETTING: Unselected]
Selecting this will produce a finer dithering output.
•
Error Diffusion (Raster Page):
Interprets and outputs the raster engraving via the error
diffusion method. This mode will allow you to select from three diffusion types: Floyd, Stucki, and
Jarvis.
○ Diffusion Type: Floyd, Stucki, Jarvis [DEFAULT SETTING: Floyd]
