<p>There is disclosed a continuous ink-jet printing method in which a stream of droplets issue from a nozzle of a continuous ink-jet printhead and a print substrate is moved past the printhead, the deflection electrodes of the printhead being disposed at a preselected angle relative to the path of movement of said print substrate. In accordance with said deflection electrode angle, for each of a series of droplets to be printed on said substrate to form an image, the value of the charge to be applied to the droplet is determined. The speed of movement of the print substrate relative to the printhead is determined and the values of the charges to be applied to the droplets in said stream corrected and the number of uncharged droplets between printable droplets adjusted in accordance with the determined speed of the substrate before the respective charges are applied to each of the droplets for printing.</p> |
