Question

Commercial printing uses an area of patterned dots called a ________. The dots vary in size depending on the level of color needed

Answer 1

a halftone.

Step-by-step explanation:

A halftone is an image that consists of discrete dots instead of continuous tones. When you see it from the distance, the dots blur together, which creates the illusion of continuous lines and shapes. When the method of half-toning is used, an image can be printed using less ink, that’s why many newspapers and magazines use half-toning method so they can print pages more efficiently.
