There are two types of ink jet—continuous flow and drop-on-demand. Continuous flow ink-jet systems deliver superb quality, virtually continuous-tone images. Rapid bursts of "micro-drops" form each single droplet, whose densities are varied by varying the number of micro-drops from which each is made. Only a small number of density levels are possible, so the system is not truly "continuous tone." But by screening with these variable-density droplets, ultra-smooth prints are possible at relatively coarse device resolutions.
