Editing Stochastic (section)

== Subtractive color reproduction ==
When color reproductions are made, the image is separated into its component colors by taking multiple photographs filtered for each color. One resultant film or plate represents each of the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black data. [[Color printing]] is a binary system, where ink is either present or not present, so all color separations to be printed must be translated into dots at some stage of the work-flow. Traditional [[line screen]]s which are [[amplitude modulated]] had problems with [[moiré]] but were used until [[stochastic screening]] became available. A stochastic (or [[frequency modulated]]) dot pattern creates a sharper image.
