halftone wiki:
ftoning is a method of printing shades using a single color ink. By varying the size or density of dots, the eye can see a shade somewhere between the solid colour and the colour of the background paper. The effect has its limits, and when the dots get too small or spaced too far apart, the eye can start seeing individual dots again.
