A Recent Hybrid Screen Design Example Jan Allebach, Wan-Eih Huang, and Tongyang Liu
The Hybrid Screen • The hybrid screen is a screening algorithm which generates stochastic dispersed-dot textures in highlights and shadows, and periodic clustered-dot textures in midtones. Smooth transition

Recent work with hybrid screens • Monochrome hybrid, multilevel, halftone screen with unequal spatial resolution for a low-cost electrophotographic printer • Hybrid screen method • Clustered-dot periodic screen • Supercell • DBS • Unequal resolution printing model • Multilevel output W.
