Document Halftones (Xerox Features tab)

Halftone is the process by which images are printed as a pattern of many small dots. The size and density of the dots produce shades of light and dark in the image when it is printed. Also, different combinations of the four primary toner colors produce an extensive range of possible colors. You can choose from two Halftone Settings—Quad Dot and Smooth Screen.

QUAD DOT

Quad Dot is a patented Xerox technology which produces clear, well-defined pictures and graphics. It provides smoother fine lines with less visible grain.

SMOOTH SCREEN

Smooth Screen halftones distribute the halftone dots in a more random pattern in order to produce a smoother effect for color sweeps.
