A method for producing a half-tone image faithfully representing a continuous-tone original includes a step of forming in the image a pattern of substantially continuous, substantially parallel lines at a frequency of between about 100 and 400 lines per inch, such that the width of the lines at a given point in the image varies in relation to the optical density of at least one color component at a corresponding point in the continuous-tone original. The method may be used for color separations with each separation produced by scanning at a different angle. The method may be implemented using photomechanical or electronic scanning techniques.
