If you design for print, and specifically for materials that will be printed on traditional offset lithography presses, you either already know about Total Ink, or really should know. In offset lithography, your designs are replicated on paper by little dots of ink of various colors (typically, Cyan / Magenta / Yellow / Black, or “CMYK”, and “spot” colors). These little dots of ink hit the paper in what is known as a halftone pattern. If you bust out your loupe and take a look at anything printed this way, you will see the halftone patter.
