Ben-Day dots are a dot printing technique utilized in comic books and commercial arts in the late 19th and the mid-20th century. It was developed by an illustrator known as Benjamin Henry Day Jr. who integrated small colored dots evenly spaced apart onto an image to form shadow, color, and tone. Their printing sizes and density varies with the effects needed, such as textures or gradients. Mid-century, Ben-Day dots was famous alongside the rise of Pop Art with several artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Comic art style was elevated to high art by Lichtenstein when he replicated the mechanical printing style of comic strips with Ben-Day dots. This style was later adopted by Warhol and used throughout his famous silkscreen prints to demonstrate mass consumerism and production. These days, digital technology has taken over traditional style Ben-Day dot printing, but its influence can still be seen in contemporary artworks. The concept of Ben-Day dots signifies the convergence of mass media, popular culture, and artistic expression which makes it an important part of visual communication and art history.
