Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating an amplitude modulated multi-cluster halftone dot for use in an amplitude modulated screen includes determining an arrangement of clusters within the dot; determining a cluster function for each cluster, the cluster function defining a pixel sequence indicating a sequence of turning on device pixels within an area of a particular cluster; determining a dot function for the dot, the dot function defining a cluster sequence indicating a sequence of the clusters; and generating a set of data representative of the dot for a particular tonal value, by determining the device pixels within the dot turned on for that particular tonal value according to the cluster functions and the dot function. A computer program, a printing device and a printed product are also provided.
