A method of color reproduction using filters and halftone screens.

This question tests how color images were historically reproduced by splitting the image into color components with filters and halftone dot patterns. In the three-color process, three color separations are produced using colored filters, generating three halftone images. Each separation corresponds to a primary color channel, and when these three printed layers are overlapped with proper alignment, they recreate a full range of colors. This approach is distinct from CMYK printing, which uses four inks; from lithography, which is a general printing method; and from monochrome, which uses only a single color.
