Product updates
Thank you for making HALFTONE PRINT part of your work — we're grateful for every one of you. Everything here comes from a single goal: making the tool better for the people who use it. We improve it a little every day, big features and small refinements alike.
Below is what's new. Each entry pairs the technical detail with a plain-language note on what it means for you.
The halftone preview now updates in real time as you drag sliders, rather than recomputing after each change.
In plain terms — adjust the dots, size, or colors and the preview follows your hand instantly — no waiting, so you can dial in the look by feel.
Added dedicated halftone pipelines for both dark and light garment bases, switchable from a base-color toggle.
In plain terms — you can now prepare artwork for black shirts and white shirts alike; pick the garment color and the dots are tuned for that fabric instead of one-size-fits-all.
Introduced controllable positional and size jitter in the halftone screen, breaking up the mechanical regularity of a fixed grid.
In plain terms — dots can now carry a natural, hand-printed randomness, so the result looks less like a machine pattern and more like real screen printing.
Raised the upper limit on halftone dots substantially, allowing far denser, higher-resolution screens.
In plain terms — large or highly detailed images hold their detail; the tool can pack in many more dots before it runs out of room.
The sample-image thumbnails can now be minimized (closed), reclaiming that space for the preview so it reads larger and clearer.
In plain terms — a small tweak: tuck the sample pictures away when you don't need them and the preview gets more room to shine.
Restructured the site into two surfaces: the converter workspace opens secondary pages (pricing, FAQ, changelog, and so on) in a separate tab rather than navigating away.
In plain terms — opening another page no longer wipes your in-progress conversion; your work stays exactly where you left it.
Optimized palette extraction (k-means) so the halftone preview renders roughly 13× faster while producing byte-identical output.
In plain terms — the same result, but the preview appears almost immediately instead of after a noticeable wait.
