Abstract
In some examples, dynamic threshold based error diffusion may include determining whether a pixel associated with a pattern to be printed includes a lighter tone or a darker tone compared to an adjacent pixel. In response to a determination that the pixel associated with the pattern to be printed includes the lighter tone or the darker tone compared to the adjacent pixel, a firing threshold may be respectively increased or decreased to respectively decrease or increase a likelihood of printing of the pattern.
