•Cluster Ordered Dither (?*t7J, ?*t8J)

•Ordered Dither (?*t11J, ?*t12J)

Color processing reverts to device-dependent processing if the render algorithm is changed from one of the above. This is because extensive device characterization is necessary to achieve device-independence—calibration must be based on known parameters that affect the device's color gamut. Render algorithms such as Snap to Primaries (?*t1J), Snap Black to White and Colors to Black (?*t2J), or User-Defined Halftone (?*t9J) either limit the number of colors available, or are undefined to the extent that their performance is not as precise. These algorithms, therefore, produce device-dependent results. Device-independent color is again generated if the render algorithm changes to one of the 5 listed above and the color space has not changed.
