Abstract
Prevailing print techniques such as inkjet rely on halftoning, a process whereby image tone is approximated by a matrix of droplets varying in density. This, while useful in many applications, ensures a direct link between the resolution and the droplet size. The Woodburytype is one of the few reprographic techniques that can produce continous tone and is based on a relief structure of pigmented gelatin, that directly ties tone to print height. We discuss the prevalence of gelatin in many photographic/print processes, alternative gelling agents and present an optical model of these semi-transparent films for full colour print.
