Abstract
The likelihood that differently colored inks will overlap is minimized in a multicolor printing system employing the dither method by using a different dither matrix for each color and arranging the lowest threshold valued cells of the dither matrices so that they do not overlap when repeated across a printing surface. A preferred embodiment uses rectangular dither matrices of different size, shape, and arrangement of threshold values.
