Square Dot Shape

The square dot is the most classic dot shape. It is square in the highlights, forms a checkerboard at 50% and form square holes in the shadows. The square dot is known to be the dot shape producing the finest detail. At 50% the tonal jump can be very noticeable, especially when the printing process is characterized by a large dot gain. If this tonal jump is too obvious, use forgra dots instead (possibly elliptical dots.)
