A method for generating a bitmap from an image for image reproduction, the bitmap having both screened and non-screened data, includes the steps of: generating a set of contiguous microdots of the bitmap, wherein the set is selected from the group of a set of contiguous microdots forming an image dot being part of the screened data and a set of contiguous microdots forming an entity of contiguous microdots being part of the non-screened data; generating a non-printing dot in the set of contiguous microdots, depending on a specific characteristic selected from a characteristic of the image and a characteristic of the set of contiguous microdots; and applying a morphological filter to the set of contiguous microdots for preserving fine details in the reproduction of the image. |
