Screening Technology

Theory

Screening Technology

The explanation of lpi (screening frequency)

8 dots x 10 = 80dpi, 8 x 8 = 64 greyscales

16 dots x 5 = 80dpi, 16 x 16 = 256 greyscales

10 lpi

5 lpi

Halftone Areas

Halftone Areas

Screening Technology

The relationship between lpi, dpi and greyscales

“lpi” based values

“greyscale” based values

lpi = lines per inchdpi = dots per inchGS = greyscales

Note: The higher the lpi value, the lower the number of greyscales
