Following a dot from ether to paper (simplified) - In the reproduction of an image, we scan a continuous tone original photograph (whether transparent or reflective).The scan results in light striking a photosensitive device and in that device, altering an electrical signal. The varying electrical signal passes through a device called an ADC (analog-to-digital converter) whose function is to compare the varying signal to a mathematical table, and issue a number that digitally represents the tonality of the original image.

Goodbye, Halftones; Hello, Stochastic? - upfront news - printing technique and applications described - Brief Article
Printing Styles - Four Color, Stochastic, Direct to Plate - This page is a presentation of printing styles. Here to give you some sense of the discernible differences between standard commercial four color process, the stochastic four color process used on my print of The Woerley House, and the quality of the Mylar method original lithographic print where the image drawn on Mylar has been contacted directly to the printing plate without any intervening screen or computer processing.
Stochastic Used To Be An Idea Ahead Of Its Time - 10 Years Ago. Today, the process has been perfected through Creo brand Staccato screening. Staccato is the new standard for stochastic printing, and the only brand used by Dome.
Stochastic printing vs. Conventional Printing - Computer-To-Plate technology has allowed more printers to utilizing a different technique for printing halftones known as Frequency Modulation (FM) screening, or stochastic printing. However, conventional screening, or Amplitude Modulation (AM), is certainly not obsolete, especially when higher line screens of 175 to 200 are used in halftone and four color process printing.
Stochastic Printing Continued - Stochastic printing, also called frequency modulation (FM) screening, uses small (10, 20 or 25 Micron), same size dots in a random pattern and varies the density of the dot to create an image that is closer to continuous tone.
Stochastic Screening - Stochastic screening style or substance?
Stochastic Screening (PPL) ... Opacity and brightness of paper play a large role in print quality.
Stochastic Screening - often called FM (Frequency Modulated) screening, lets you output high-quality color images at lower resolutions by using a different approach to screening technology. Unlike amplitude modulated (AM) screening -- that varies the size of the dot to simulate different shades of color -- FM screening keeps the dot size the same and varies the number of dots used.
Stochastic Screening - Color Correction
Stochastic Screening - Stochastic Screens are a new type of halftone screens used to encode invisible digital watermarks in printed documents.
