A percentage of a PMS color usually represented in 5% - 10% increments to create tint colors for design purposes.
The lightening of solid colours such as Pantone colours or solid process colours by screening them; the resulting colour is called a screen tint. For example, magenta printed as a 40 percent tine appears as a mediumpink.The ink coverage for a screen tint is less than 100 percent and thus sumulates shading or a lighter colour.
A device used in printing that decreases color intensity by reproducing fine dots of the color; example: a 50% screen of black produces a medium gray
A HALFTONE characterized by dots that are all the same size over the entire area of the image.
A screened percentage of a solid colour, measured in lines per inch. The greater the tint, the larger the halftone dot and more intense the colour (100% is solid colour).
Color created by dots instead of solid ink coverage. Also called Benday, fill pattern, screen tone, shading, tint and tone.
Printing method used to create shading effects.
A tint of any ink color printed as a percentage of that color using dots of uniform intensity.
A screen of closely and evenly spaced dots or lines used on open window negatives to produce tones.
Reducing ink coverage by printing an area of consistent sized dots to achieve a lighter shade without printing a second color.
Film with dots in one of a grade of percentages (10% - 90%) used for printing a shade of a colour rather than its full strength.
Area of image printed with dots so ink coverage is less than 100% and simulates shading or a lighter color.
