Abstract
A system is disclosed. The system includes at least one physical memory device to store edge enhancement logic and one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device to execute the edge enhancement logic to receive a plurality of pels in a continuous tone image (CTI), receive a first halftone design associated with each of the plurality of pels, receive compensation data for pel forming elements associated with each of the plurality of pels, receive edge enhancement inverse transfer functions, determine whether each of the plurality of pels is an edge pel, perform edge enhancement processing for each of the determined edge pels, including generating a final halftone design for the pel based on the first halftone design associated with the pel, the edge enhancement inverse transfer function associated with the pel, and the compensation data associated with the pel and perform compensation processing for each of the determined not edge pels, including generating a final halftone design for the pel based on the first halftone design associated with the pel, and the compensation data associated with the pel.
