Abstract
This paper describes some mathematical aspects of halftoning in digital printing. Halftoning is the technique of rendering a continuous range of colors using only a few discrete ones. There are two major classes of methods: dithering and error diffusion. Some discussion is presented concerning the method of dithering, but the main emphasis is on error diffusion.
