Knut Olav Sunde: ISOM/2000 recommendations for four colour printing

Stochastic screening

  • Stochastic screening involves imaging dots on film using special randomizing software.
  • The software uses mathematical expressions to statistically evaluate and randomly distribute pixels under a fixed set of parameters.
  • Stochastic uses random dot placement, hence varying spacing between dots. Dots are the same size and shape in most versions.
