Glossary of Printing Terms:
Halftone Color Synthesis

Refers to the way in which a color impression is generated when printing screened color images.

The individual screen dots in the CMYK basic colors when using four-color printing are printed either next to or on top of each other.

Both additive and subtractive color synthesis is possible. Even unprinted portions of an image, which are generally white, contribute to the color impression.
