Abstract A method and system for generating halftone tables, using a spot function, subdivides the pixels within the halftone cell of a halftone matrix into a plurality of sub-pixels, determines the value of the spot function corresponding to the position of each of the sub-pixels within the halftone matrix, repeats the subdividing and determining for all of the sub-pixels in the halftone matrix, ranks the values for the entire halftone matrix, normalizes the ranked values, generates a cumulative histogram based upon the normalized values, and stores the cumulative histogram as a halftone table.
