INKJET PRINTING METHOD USING MODE SWITCHING

摘要

A method for printing an input digital image using and inkjet printer being adapted to print horizontal strips of print image data using one or more print passes. The method includes determining print image data and control channel image data for a particular strip responsive to input code values for corresponding input pixels, the control channel image data providing an indication of the number of print passes that should be used to print the input code values. A number of print passes for the particular strip is determined responsive to the control channel image data, and the inkjet printer is controlled to print the particular strip of print image data using the determined number of print passes.
