What screentone is and how the 61-01 fits into analogue manga productionScreentone is the adhesive halftone film used in traditional analogue manga production to add tones, textures, and gradients to inked pages without using solid black or hand-drawn hatching. The grey areas, shadow fills, skin tones, and background textures seen in printed manga are applied with screentone sheets: the artist cuts the sheet to the shape of the area to be toned, carefully lifts the cut piece, positions it over the artwork, and burnishes firmly to adhere it. The 61-01 pattern is the production standard regular dot — a mid-density, even halftone dot that works correctly at the reduction ratios used in standard manga printing. It is the first screentone pattern an analogue manga artist needs, the most versatile, and the pattern that defines the visual character of traditional manga toning.


Application — the technique in practice
Screentone application requires two tools: a craft knife for cutting and a burnisher (or smooth pen body) for adhering. Place the screentone over the area to be toned with the backing still on. Use a lightbox or hold the page to a window to see the artwork through the semi-transparent film. Mark the cutting line lightly, then cut along the edge of the area to be toned. Lift the cut piece carefully — the adhesive side faces down. Position over the artwork, press gently to tack in place, check alignment, then burnish firmly from the centre outward to fully adhere. The adhesive is repositionable briefly before full pressure is applied; once burnished it bonds permanently.

Honest Note:

Screentone application requires a craft knife and a clean, firm cutting surface. The adhesive bonds permanently after burnishing — repositioning is only briefly possible before the bond sets. Cut slightly inside the border of the area to be toned to avoid screentone overlapping inked outlines. Store flat away from direct light and heat — the adhesive softens in warm conditions and sheets stored rolled will not lie flat. Each sheet is single-use.

Who is it For?

  • Manga artists working in traditional analogue production who want production-standard toning materials
  • Illustrators who want to add tonal work to their scanned pages without digital post-processing
  • Anyone learning screentone application as part of traditional manga production technique
  • Comic artists working in western formats who want to try Japanese screentone technique

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)

How do I apply screentone?

Place the screentone over the area to be toned (backing still on). Use a lightbox to see the artwork through the film. Cut around the shape of the area with a craft knife — cut slightly inside the border so the screentone does not overlap inked outlines. Lift the cut piece, position over the artwork, tack gently to check alignment, then burnish firmly from the centre outward with a burnisher or smooth pen body. The adhesive bonds permanently once burnished.

Will screentone survive scanning?

Yes — when the page is scanned at an appropriate resolution in greyscale, the halftone dot pattern reproduces correctly. Scan at a minimum of 600dpi for manga production intended for print — lower resolutions may introduce moiré patterns in the dot structure.

What tools do I need for screentone work?

A craft knife with a fresh blade (a dull blade tears rather than cuts cleanly), a cutting surface that will not damage the blade, and a burnisher for adhering. A lightbox is very helpful for positioning — it allows you to see the artwork through the screentone while it is still on the backing paper. A dedicated screentone burnisher produces better adhesion than a fingernail, though a smooth pen body or the flat of a pen cap also works.
