Abstract
A method and system for generating a halftone image from an input image is disclosed. Visible artifacts caused by the correlation of one or more colors or color planes are avoided because the halftone image analysis for one color affects the halftone image analysis for subsequent colors. A printer controller analyzes at least a part of the input image to dynamically set a sequence of the plurality of colors. Halftone image analysis is carried out in the sequence of the plurality of colors to generate the halftone image.
