Shading can also be adjusted by the number of rows of data, the angle of the rows, and the shape of the data. Halftone Screen is available if KPDL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box.

An ellipse shape provides a smooth gradation of tones. Select Ellipse for images with dark areas. Round Resists moiré formation and dot gain. Moiré formation is an unintended pattern that occurs when two or more colors are printed at the wrong angles. The correct angles depend on the number of colors being printed. Dot gain is when the halftone dots increase when printed, causing a moiré pattern. Select Round for images with light tints and highlighted areas. Line Used for special effect. Select Line to change the effect by selecting a different angle. User Guide
