Gray pixel values, where the value of the pixel has one of a relatively large number of input levels, are directed through an error diffusion quantization process, for the conversion to one of a relatively small number of values. Each pixel of the gray level data is modified by a correspondingly weighted error correction term or terms from previously processed pixels, generating a modified pixel value. This modified pixel value is compared to a threshold value, the threshold value determined adaptively, based on 1) a dither pattern, having a dynamic range greater than 1, and 2) the value of the pixel to be thresholded, and optionally on its predetermined neighborhood, multiplied by a value representing an edge enhancement factor. The difference value between the modified pixel value and the output pixel value is distributed in accordance with a weighted distribution scheme to a set of neighboring unprocessed pixels, increasing or decreasing the gray values of such pixels.
