- Halftone 1880s– / Technique
Halftone converts continuous tone into regularly spaced dots of changing size so it can be printed; from a distance they return to tone, while enlargement reveals the screen as material.
- Lenticular Printing 1940s– / Technique
Lenticular printing interlaces multiple images into thin alternating strips and aligns them with parallel lenses so one print flips, animates or gains depth as the viewing angle changes.
