Stochastic Printing
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.
With this stochastic printing method it is possible to print fine patterns or curtain cloth textures without a moiré pattern. It also makes it possible to print in more than the conventional 4 inks (CMYK) resulting in greater color range and accuracy.

Halftone Printing
Halftone printing is a method in which images (color or greyscale) are transformed into dots that can be printed with limited colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and black, or just black). Each individual color is printed at a different angle.
This is an example of a greyscale gradient. On the left is an enlarged version of what is printed. On the right is what our eye would see when viewed at the correct distance.
Below is the same concept applied to color images or solids. You first see cyan, magenta, yellow, and then black followed by the combination and a zoomed version.
