To reduce low-frequency moire in secondary colors and tertiary colors in
four color screens, between at least two halftone screens, screen vectors
wa2, wb2 are arranged to match each other, while other screen vectors are
arranged not to match each other. A halftone screen is an orthogonal
screen in which screen vector wa2 is perpendicular to basis vector ra1. A
halftone screen is a non-orthogonal screen in which screen vector wb2 is
perpendicular to basis vector rb1. When screen vector wa2 matches screen
vector wb2, spatial frequency spectra corresponding to screen vectors wa2
and wab2, match each other. With such a relationship, because a pair of
spatial frequency spectra can match each other between two colors, wider
intervals can be provided for the spatial frequency spectra of the
remaining colors of four colors, which would suppress low-frequency
moire.
