Color Halftone
Also called a monotone, an image printed using a single ink color
is called a color halftone. The top image is printed directly on a white field; in the
bottom image, the color halftone is shown crossing over a supporting color, which
changes the appearance of the halftone's color.
Duotone
When an image is printed using two ink colors, the result is a duotone. The
image at the top is printed using two similar color inks to enhance its overall tonal
range; in the lower example, the image is printed using two ink colors that are very
different.
