[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4442813, member: 8267"]The reproduction process that has the various patterns of dots is known as "halftone". Offset lithography does not use a screen, and shows a smooth appearance. An excellent reference for identifying print techniques, with lots of discussion of history, and closeup images, is: Bamber Gascoigne: How to Identify Prints. 2nd ed. Thames & Hudson, 2004.
