The tiny dots that are visible on photo images are called pixels. There are generally thousands of pixels in a small area of a photograph. The larger the number of pixels in a small area, the clearer the photograph appears.

What is the name of the dots used in photo journalism?
Oddly enough, they're just called "dots," and are part of what's commonly known as a "halftone screen." The number of dots per inch determines the resolution of the printed halftone photo (the more dots, the sharper the picture -- 150 dpi allows for much finer detail resolution than 72 dpi). The reason this effect was required is that offset printing is not capable of reproducing shades or gradations of tone -- there's either ink on the paper or not. Reducing a continuous tone photo to a series of dots allows it to be reproduced on a printing press. Without the dot structure, the press would simply print a blotch of ink. Traditionally the halftone was achieved by laying a reusable, semi-transparent screen of the desired frequency (number of dots per inch) over high-contrast photographic paper on an enlarger (or by a similar process on a "line camera," but that's a whole 'nother topic). Bright areas of the picture were thus translated to small dots on the paper; darker areas comprised larger dots. Nowadays, most pre-press operations use scanners, computer graphics programs and digital output systems to produce halftones.

Why don't people see the little colored dots that make up a picture?
Your brain works with what the eyes perceive to make out the image in front of them. So, the pixels (little colored dots) get mixed into that picture. If you get close enough, you can see the dots on your TV screen. In the 1880's there was a painter named Georges Suerat who painted with dots--called Pointillism. Other painters followed suit.

What qualities should I look for in a photo printer?
DPI (dots per inch) is the most important statistic for photo printers. This is the best indicator of the quality of photo that the printer will produce.
Does digital offset printing cost more than regular photo printing?
Usually, no. There's not a huge price difference in the cost of digital printing vs. photo printing, but the quality of photo printing is still higher. Digital printing involves printing tiny dots of color on paper to create an image while photo printing is done on photo paper where you don't see dots.
Which art movement creates color using tiny dots?
Pointillism creates images out of colored dots that only suggest forms when seen at a distance.
