      <abstract>
        <p>In this paper, we propose a novel halftoning method that we call Ink-Saving, Single-Frequency, Single-Angle, Multi-Drop (IS-SF-SA-MD) halftoning. The application target for our algorithm is high-volume production ink-jet printing in which the user will value a reduction in ink usage.
 Unlike commercial offset printing in which fourcolorant printing is achieved by rotating a single screen to four different angles, our method uses a single frequency screen at a single angle, and depends on accurate registration between colorant planes to minimize dot-overlap especially between
 the black (K) colorant and the other colorants (C, M, and Y). To increase the number of graylevels for each colorant, we exploit the multidrop capabilities of the target writing system. We also use the hybrid screening method to yield improved halftone texture in the highlights and shadows.</p>
