Halftone Screen

Halftone screens are a type of equipment used in the printing, duplicating, and bookbinding industry. They are part of the supply class of Printing, Duplicating, and Bookbinding Equipment in the supply group of Special Industry Machinery.

Halftone screens are used in the process of creating halftone images, which are images made up of small dots of varying sizes and densities. These screens consist of a grid of tiny holes or dots that are evenly spaced. When a halftone screen is placed over an image, the dots in the screen determine the size and density of the dots that will be printed, thus creating the illusion of continuous tones and shades in the final printed image.

Halftone screens are commonly used in the printing industry to reproduce photographs and other continuous-tone images in newspapers, magazines, and other printed materials. They are also used in the production of various types of packaging, labels, and other printed products.

In summary, halftone screens are an essential tool in the printing, duplicating, and bookbinding industry, allowing for the reproduction of continuous-tone images through the use of small dots of varying sizes and densities.
