Abstract
For electrophotographic printers, periodic clustered screens are preferable due to their homogeneous halftone texture and their robustness to dot gain. In traditional periodic clustered-dot color halftoning, each color plane is independently rendered with a different screen at a different angle. However, depending on the screen angle and screen frequency, the final halftone may have strong visible moiré due to the interaction of the periodic structures, associated with the different color planes. This paper addresses issues on finding optimal color screen sets which produce the minimal visible moiré and homogeneous halftone texture. To achieve these goals, we propose new features including halftone microtexture spectrum analysis, common periodicity, and twist factor. The halftone microtexture spectrum is shown to predict the visible moiré more accurately than the conventional moiré-free conditions. Common periodicity and twist factor are used to determine whether the halftone texture is homogeneous. Our results demonstrate significant improvements to clustered-dot screens in minimizing visible moiré and having smooth halftone texture.
