Strictly speaking, "surprinting" means imposing unscreened line art on a plate on which halftone art has already been printed. In this procedure, the continuous-tone art has become a halftone by prior screening, but the line art remains unscreened and therefore presents a better definition without a dot formation.  2, record 12, English, - surprinting
