A pattern created by printing several repetitive designs on top of each other. In four-color process printing, four screens of colored dots print on top of each other. If the angles of the halftone screens of each of the four colors are not properly aligned with each other, an undesirable, blurry pattern, called moire appears in the final image; the term is from the watery or wavy pattern seen on moire silk. See also four-color process, halftone, rosette, screen.
