A method and apparatus is provided for adding pseudo-random noise and bias to an input pixel value to reduce banding effects and to produce additional highlights in the output. The method adds the value of a bias function and a pseudo-random noise value to the input pixel value. The sum is shifted a predetermined number of spaces. The result of the shifting step is then added to the input pixel value. A predetermined constant is subtracted from the above sum. A clipping procedure is then applied to calculate the final output value. Three properties of the bias function are to have a value of no ink map to a value of no ink, to have a value of full ink map to a value of full ink, and to add highlights. |
