Image Resolution Enhancement Technology (IRET) is a halftone technology for obtaining superior image quality on a laser printer by utilizing laser modulations. A hybrid scheme is used to combine a clustered dot pattern for stability and a stochastic screen (super smooth dither) for minimum halftone texture.

The top picture shows an eye rendered on a HP Color LaserJet without REt. The bottom picture shows it rendered on a HP Color LaserJet  with Image REt 1200.
