Those sound like halftone settings. In proper halftone creation, there should be no totally white or black areas on the page (the former wash out, and the latter clog up on the press). Thus the dot in the lightest area should be no more than 3 to 5% and the dot in the darkest area should be no more than 85% (the press will make it 100%). I haven't run into mid-tone or quarter-tone settings (my background was newspapers, which don't have the quality requirements of other publications) but they seem to fit into the same category. I'm not sure how this would relate to Photoshop, short of physically created halftones in the bitmap options.
