[Gimp-print-devel] Are dithers multi-shade aware?

[Walker B. <fo...@wa...>]

Dear devs,

I’m looking Gutenprint code and trying to determine if each channel is dithered independently of every other channel or if they take into account darker shades as no-go placement-points for lighter shades (or vis versa). 

Eg: For Vivid Magenta dots, no Light Magenta dots should be printed at the same coordinates. Is this what “masking” is in the code? If each channel is independently dithered I’d be interested in funding per-color channel-aware dithering . . .

Best regards,
Walker
