Halftoning with Unidrv

Important

The modern print platform is Windows' preferred means of communicating with printers. We recommend that you use Microsoft's IPP inbox class driver, along with Print Support Apps (PSA), to customize the print experience in Windows 10 and 11 for printer device development.

For more information, see Modern print platform and the Print support app design guide.

Halftoning operations can be controlled by either GDI or driver software, or by device hardware. The type that is used is dependent on the color format. The following topics discuss Unidrv's support for halftoning operations:
