So how many colour steps and gray steps do you get at 16 dithered

4 dots each magenta, cyan, yellow and black = 64k

So, how many magenta steps, green steps, and gray steps do
you get?
Assuming each dot is either there or not there, about 16 steps each.
That was the point.
And I think we can agree that we can see more than 16 shades.
So the area needed per pixel is larger than 16 dots.
You might manage a little more if some of the colours (like cyan and yellow
can print over each other, but obviously anything + black = black.
Really? Anything + black = black? Try it yourself ...
Ahhh... rich blacks.
black + yellow = brown.
But brown isn't a colour:
