Yes, Inkjets use stochastic "screen", in other words random placement, while traditionals printers use non-stochastic, ordered placement. That's why you don't have to multiply the input file resolution by 1.5-2x when you print on inkjet (but you must do when you send it out to outprinting) to get printing resolution (e.g. with 133 lines per inch screen, used by most colour newspapers, you must use at least 200 pixels per inch input file, for best output even 266 ppi file). It's similar to lens testing where resolution of both film and lens combine so a lens with 100 lpm and film with 100 lpm would probably produce only 50-75 lpm output.
