A Study Of The Halftone Dot Characteristics Of Rapid Access Halftones, John Gilliatt Sep 1983

A Study Of The Halftone Dot Characteristics Of Rapid Access Halftones, John Gilliatt

Theses

Rapid access processing is a photographic processing method that combines high temperature processing and high energy developing agents to obtain very short induction periods, and thus, reduced processing times. In order to obtain maximum quality from the process, the rapid access halftone percent dot areas must be correctly evaluated according to established aim points. Traditional evaluation methods, either visual or instrumental, produce errors. These errors are the partial result of the unique dot characteristics of the process. These characteristics include soft, fringed dots; dots with low Dmax, found particularily in the shadow areas; loss of dot area on the tips …

The works will be multi-media ones inclusive of and related to the techniques of printmaking (intaglio and lithography) .
