Abstract
A method for adjusting dot-gain for a halftone binary bitmap file comprises inputting a halftone binary bitmap file consisting of binary pixels () to an asymmetric digital filter (). The binary pixels are filtered with the asymmetric digital filter and generates multi-level pixels (). The multi-level pixel are compared to a preset level () and generates a binary pixel output (). The binary pixel output is collected and forms an adjusted halftone binary bitmap file ().
