EIGHT-TIME ENLARGEMENT OF SECTION OF I75-SCREEN HALFTONE
T-'HESE enlargements show the loss of detail in a coarse screen halftone qf a section
A of a diamond pendant, as compared with the detail carried in a fine screen halftone
of the same subject in the same size.
This book shows how this loss-of-detail difficulty may be overcome when it seems
desirable to print halftones in coarse screen on plain papers, and at the same time to
maintain a definite amount of detail.

Since it is the number of halftone dots in the area of any picture that defines the detail
in that picture, it is possible to carry in a 65-line screen any amount of detail desired
the same detail as in the 175-screen picture shown here or any other amountsimply
by enlarging the size or area of the coarse screen picture until its area is such that it
includes the number of dots necessary to hold the desired detail.
See succeeding pagesfor demonstration.

Though the halftone dots were closer together in Fig. i than in Fig. 3, they are
dissipated over a larger area, in proportion
to the original area, in Fig. 2 than are the
dots in Fig. 3 in the Fig. 4 enlargement.
The result is a very nearly identical spread
of dots over the four-inch area, in each
case. Figs. 5 and 7 are square-inch sections
of Figs. 2 and 4. These are, in turn, enlarged four times to equal size, in Figs. 6

Fic. io. This is the same group picture as in Fig. 9, about two and one-half times cal
inch in this picture as in Fig. 9, but the size of each figure has been increased to cover

enlarged. Same screenzoo. There are just the same number of halftone dots to the square
er tiore dots. Therefore, the picture is more legible, as it has more dots in it to carry detail

FIG. TT. This picture is an enlargement, about twice, of Fig. .to. It is still in loo screen. e note the clearness with which detail is brought out, compared with the detail in Fig. 9. In each
suciessive picture, Figs. 9, zo and ii, there has been no change of screen, simply an increa jn area or size of the picture. Compare the legibility here with that of the two groups preceding

FIG. 12
The three men above appear in the three relative sizes of the group pictures, Figs. 9, 10 and
from which they are taken, and show clearly the increase in legibility that comesfrom increase in
size, although the screen remains constantly the same. The screen here, as in each of the group pictures, is zoo. As a measure, a strip of screen lineszoo to the inchhas been placed at the left.
The screen line that comes on a level with the top of each man's head has been extended to touch it,
to make comparison easy. By actual count there are 63 zoo-screen lines to the height ofthe smallest
manor 63 halftone dotsI40 screen lines to the next larger and 313 to the largest man
More actual details will be shown in a print of an 85 screen halftone, four inches square, than in a print one inch square of the
same subject reduced. In the smaller picture, the whole story
would be told by a total of 7225 dots. In the picture, four inches
square, it would be told by approximately ii5,600. In the four inch
picture, 16 dots would represent the portion of the picture that one
dot would represent in the square inch picture. The 16 dots can tell
more detail. As the size of a halftone increases, the amount of detail
held increases proportionately, because more dots are available to
reproduce each portion of the picture.
Consider the outline of any one object in the two pictures. In the
[15]
FIG. 13
This photograph was taken to show a machine operation. For effectiveness, compare with Fig. zit
four-inch print, the outline of that object would actually enclose more
halftone dots than the outline of the object in the smaller picture.
A careful study of the small group picture at the top of page 8,
the enlarged group picture on the opposite double-fold page and the
still larger one in the center spread, all in the same screen, will show
the increase in detail that comes with increase in size of illustration.
Note the lack of individuality in any of the persons of the group
in the smaller picture. The general impression is that of a group
and not much interest is aroused by the individuals in that group.
Men as individuals, however, become interesting at once when you
turn to the center spread: You know about them. The picture tells
you more about them. It is easier for you to read the picture.

150 Screen
FIG. 17. If the same subjectan earfor instanceis to retain the same

The diagram above shows the general relation of size of illustration and screens when the legibility, or actual number of halftone dots, remains the same in each picture or portion of a picture,
but areas are increased and screens are made correspondingly
coarser.
An ear has been chosen for this demonstration, as it seems to be a
subject which makes the point of this discussion and the application
of the theory particularly clear. It is very , often legibility of the
human figure that we are interested to get.
The smallest drawing of the ear has a Iso screen laid over it. The
next has a 120 screen overlay, the next mo screen and the largest
85 screen. In each case, the ear, from tip to tip, covers just 150
dotsor if the diagrams were straight halftones the detail of the
ear would be defined by iso dots in each case.

Lines drawn through dots in similar positions in each picture converge to a point. Dots defining every other portion of the four ears
are distant in the same relation,from these dots, because of the nature of the screen. And there are the same number of dots in each
section.
Therefore, straight lines from this point of convergence through
each dot in the iso screen ear will pass through dots in similar positions in each of the coarser screen halftones.
Looking at it in another way, the three larger ear pictures may be
thought of as successive photographic enlargements of the 150 screen
picture. As the number of dots in the 150 screen ear are dissipated
aver larger areas, as the size of the picture increases, they take, in
turn, positions they would assume if they were straight prints from
all the intermediate coarser halftone screens.

out and discard the unessentials of a picture and enlarge the important part. Figs. 13, 14, IS and 16 show the results of such cutting.
Retaining the significant portion of a picture, and throwing that
part up to the maximum size advisable, is an expedient often used to
gain attention for details.
Note the effect gained in Fig. 16 by cutting Fig. i5 to include
only the hands holding the box and the package insert, and enlarging
that section to the same size as the original picture.

The impression is just sufficientfor the paper to meet each dot lightly
Fir. 22. Cross-section diagram showing a 120 screen halftone being printed on rough

Consequently some dots do not print, as they do not come in contact with the lo.w areas of
the rough or uneven surface
FIG. 23. Cross-section diagram showing a 120 screen halftone being sufficiently squeezed
into rough paper to make all dots touch. This creates excessive pressurefrom the high spots
of the paper, causing the ink to spread and to be takenfrom the sides of some of the dots.
This will produce a heavy, muddy result

The four plates, Figs. 21, 22, 23 and 24, show the reasons why
coarse screens are necessary, for greatest legibility on rough paper,
in order to obviate the muddy result that comes from ink spreading around the dots and from the sides of the dots, when small, fine
screen halftones are pressed into rough paper.
