to output a true halftone you will need a postcript printer - a laser printer capable of printing halftones
you can convert the image to a halftone also - using photoshop, convert image to bitmap and choose halftones as the output - choose settings you want and you are done.... those are not true halftones -

im also interested in this subject, my question is how would you make a true halftone, and what are the main differences in a true, and a non-tru halftone. last but not least how do you make a true halftone to print onto a shirt
i made a halftone already i followed the instruction posted by frank in another thread: 1) open image in photoshop
2) convert image to GRAYSCALE (image---mode---grayscale)
3) go back to MODE-----image----bitmap
4) output = 600.... method = halftone screen
5) frequency = 35 (the lower the value, the farther apart the dots
6) angle = 45 (or any)
7) shape = square
however according to henry it is not a true halftone. i printed it using an epson r230 inkjet printer. what is the difference between a true halftone and a not true halftone?(as asked by amp)
i to have printed halftones with an inkjet r1800. im just wondering if ive been doing something wrong, or if i can improve my quality with true halftones
yes the come out great i think, im also using fastrip software. not sure how it would print without the rip. im hoping not to good since i paid good money for the rip.
If I understand it right,I bugged Fred for some of this. Going to bitmap way is changing the image to dots. So it should print to most non post script printers. Non rip, in the print driver you select the screen LPI and the angle. This way,with post script printers, the driver converts the file to dots.This also has some other thing that has to me done to make it work. Like res of 2.5 time the LPI. So dots are fun...... Hope I'm getting right and helping..........P.S. the image stays normal on screen
