Abstract: In an example, a method includes acquiring data representing an article to be printed. The data may include at least one element set associated with print addressable location(s) and comprising a first and second element. The elements each identify a print material or print material combination and is each associated with a probability that the print material or print material combination identified thereby is to be applied to the associated print addressable location. A halftone matrix may be acquired comprising threshold values of a first and second value range. The threshold values of the first and second value range are distributed according to a first and second distribution pattern respectively. The halftone matrix may be applied to the data to determine print instructions to distribute the print material or print material combination identified by the first and second element according to the first and second distribution patterns respectively.
