How highlight color is created
A document with highlight color contains one color plus black. The color may be printed either as a solid color or combined with black. The NPS/IPS prints the highlight color by printing small dots in a single pass with
•Tints of black or the highlight color are created by printing dots of black or color with white space between them, thus producing a percentage value of the color. An example of this is gray or pink.
•Shades are created by printing black dots next to dots of the highlight color. An example of this is dark red.
•Tones are created by printing a combination of black dots, color dots, and blank space. The result is a percentage value of black and the highlight color. Dark red is made by mixing dots of red and black.
•The patterns of dots are known as screens. Screens are defined in the printer controller software as a matrix of bits, which correspond to printed dots. The screen defines which dots in the matrix are black, which are highlight color, and which are not printed.
