They might vary dot size to change perceived intensity (just like most
inkjets do now) but that's about it, yeah. One could as a variation on
that concept compose a big dot of a bunch of halftoned little dots,
though I don't know why you'd bother. In any case, you're never really
varying the intensity.

AFAIK the only reasonably common print processes that does mixed or true
variable intensity colour is dye sublimation printing - and I'm not even
100% certain about that one.
