Question Number 5


In conventional Amplitude Modulated (AM / autotypisch) halftone screening for four-color offset printing, why are screen angles (Rasterwinkelung) traditionally set at 30-degree separations (e.g., Cyan 15°, Black 45°, Magenta 75°, and Yellow 0°/90°)?
✔ Correct Answer:
To minimize visible moiré interference patterns by ensuring the three dominant visual colors are separated by 30 degrees, placing the least visible color (Yellow) at the 15-degree intermediate angle.
