What is the difference between conventional lithography and the new stochastic lithography?
Stochastic lithography is a new advancement in printing technology that can give a better print quality, cleaner more dynamic and accurate color images, and reduce running waste. Conventional lithography uses half-tone dots of various sizes and spaces these dots at the same distance from each other. Stochastic lithography uses microdots of a common size of various spacing according to tonal value. Stochastic screening uses smaller printing dots to create a higher image detail. Tonal ranges and color contrasts are also improved because the variation in dot distribution increases ink densities.
