Abstract
A method of forming halftone printed images in a three-dimensional printer includes generating halftone coverage data for a region of an image receiving surface including at least one color marking agent and a color neutral marking agent. The method further includes generating halftone image data with reference to the halftone coverage data and operating a plurality of ejectors to form a printed halftone image having a uniform thickness. A first pixel location receives a first color marking agent and at least a second pixel location receives the color neutral marking agent.
