Definition of dot gain or spread
Dot gain or spread: A term used to explain the difference in size between the dot on film versus on paper. Alt: A phenomenon, which occurs when wet ink comes in contact with paper. As the halftone dots are applied to the paper, the wet ink spreads, causing the dots to increase in size and halftones to appear darker. A number of factors affect dot gain.
