Non-Continuous Tone Algorithms

HP Color LaserJet 5 and 5M printers remap non-continuous tone render algorithms into continuous tone algorithms. The following remapping takes place:

Snap to primaries	=	Snap to primaries
Snap black to white, color to black	=	Snap black to white, color to black
Device best dither	=	Continuous tone smooth 150 lpi
Error diffusion	=	Continuous tone smooth 150 lpi
Monochrome device best dither	=	Monochrome continuous tone smooth
		150 lpi
Monochrome error diffusion	=	Monochrome continuous tone smooth
		150 lpi
Cluster ordered dither	=	Continuous tone smooth 150 lpi
Monochrome cluster ordered dither =		Monochrome continuous tone smooth
		150 lpi
User-defined dither	=	Continuous tone smooth 150 lpi
Monochrome user-defined dither	=	Monochrome continuous tone smooth
		150 lpi
Ordered dither	=	Continuous tone smooth 150 lpi
Monochrome ordered dither	=	Monochrome continuous tone smooth
		150 lpi
Noise ordered dither	=	Continuous tone smooth 150 lpi
Monochrome noise ordered dither	=	Monochrome continuous tone smooth
		150 lpi

User-Defined Dithers

The Download Dither Matrix command (?*m#W) can create a dither matrix for one or all three primary colors, in effect providing halftone screens. User-defined dither matrices can be used for optimizing the printer's output capabilities when using device-dependent color spaces. They are ignored for device-independent color spaces, since the printer cannot be calibrated as is necessary for device-independent color. User-defined halftones can be downloaded for each component of the color space.
