    Abstract: In the present invention each input pixel value is compared against a randomly selected threshold value to provide an output pixel having a value indicative of which of the values is greater. The threshold value is selected from one of a plurality of threshold matrices, each having a predetermined number of threshold values that are arranged in a pattern with the values for a base matrix being increased by an increment for each succeeding one of the plurality of threshold matrices. The selection of the one threshold matrix is made by means of a pseudo-random number generator.

    Abstract: A method for printing an input digital image using a digital printer having a set of colorants with substantially the same color but different densities, including a sequence of node points where each of the two or more colorants are either at their maximum or minimum values, setting colorant concentrations such that the color channel output responses corresponding to the sequence of node points are substantially equally spaced in a visually uniform color space; forming colorant control look-up tables to provide smooth transitions in the color channel output response between the sequence of node points; addressing the colorant control look-up tables with the printer code value for each pixel of the input digital image to determine the colorant control signals for each of the two or more colorants; and controlling the digital printer using the colorant control signals to produce a print of the input digital image.
