Abstract
The invention is a method for printing a color proof from an initial halftone bitmap file () having individual dots () using a spatial filter () which is created from a calibration curve () for a printing press (). The method further consists of sending an initial halftone bitmap file consisting of individual dots to the spatial filter creating a filtered output (), quantizing the filtered output from the spatial filter to 'n' levels to create a quantized image (), transmitting the quantized image to a color printer (), and printing a halftone color proof () on the color printer.
