Disclosed is a hyperacuity printing system for rendering halftoned image data on a recording medium. The printing system includes a data source for supplying grayscale input image data and halftoning circuitry for receiving the grayscale input image data from the data source and transforming the grayscale input image data into multi-bit value output data. The halftoning circuitry includes a look-up table for providing the multi-bit value output data where the multi-bit value output data define halftone dots, the halftone dots being arranged in the look-up table as a continuum from a lowest density value to a highest density value corresponding to the grayscale input image data, the halftone dots having a reference which is a predetermined position from a defined origin in the look-up table. Further included in the printing system is addressing circuitry providing a first set of address lines and a second set of address lines defining a screen stored in the memory, the first set of address lines and the second set of address lines providing x and y address values defined by a desired screen angle. The addressing circuitry includes rotation circuitry for modifying the x and y address values thereby rotating the halftone dots, resulting in rotated halftone dots. The addressing circuitry also includes shifting circuitry for modifying the x and y address values thereby shifting the reference point of the halftone dots away from the predetermined position from the defined origin in the look-up table, the shifting and the rotating occurring while the halftone dots are being read from the look-up table. Finally there is a modulating device for receiving the multi-bit value output data from the halftoning circuitry and converting the multi-bit value output data into a form which can be directly utilized by a writing device for writing the multi-bit value output data onto the recording medium.
