I.E. screen at 300 dpi for printing on a 600 dpi printer. You also
have to decide on the finished physical size of the graphic before you
start.
I used to use the regular graphic in all the drafts. When I was
satisfied with everything, then I applied the stochastic screen.
I just searched Inscape+"stochastic screening" and got a bunch of
useless stuff including an anti-Obama site (whaaaaat, how'd Google do
that?). Then I did the same thing for LaTeX, nothing ontopic for us.
Same thing with "Computer monitors". One site said most inkjet printers
use stochastic screening.
I suspect all home printers and laser printers now have some kind of
stochastic screening routines in their printer drivers. But, I've not
tested the idea.
An interesting discussion, but a question about Stochastic screening
from someone who has only just heard of it.
Is this screening something done at print driver level, and not a
screen applied to the graphic itself prior to importing? ... therefore
the same pdf file could be printed both with and without stochastic
screening if the printer/driver support it?
