Stucki dithering extends the error-diffusion idea with a larger kernel and different weights, preserving fine detail and sharper midtones than Floyd–Steinberg. It is a strong choice for technical diagrams, line art, and high-resolution engraving on materials that can hold fine detail—slate, painted tile, hardwood, and acrylic. Run it at 300+ DPI for best results; it produces smoother midtones and fewer directional artifacts than Floyd–Steinberg when detail matters.
