when printing with black ink only.
halftones
Patterns of black or colored dots used to reproduce an image.

to produce varying shades of gray using only black dots, or a nearly infinite array
of colors using only a few colors of dots. See also halftones.

spraying ink onto paper.

Some information is fixed and is used to control how the printer operates.
Information that is sent to the printer from the computer is stored in memory
temporary. See also RAM and ROM.

Printing in which images are printed in finer increments to reduce the possibility
of banding and to produce laser-like images. See also banding.
