METHOD OF IMPROVING ADHESIVENESS OF MARKING MATERIAL AND RECEIVING MEDIUM AND A PRINTER

摘要

Method for printing an image by a reproduction apparatus comprising a print head comprising print elements for ejecting marking material on a receiving medium in a multi-pass mode, the method comprising the steps of selecting a multi-pass mode out of at least two multi-pass modes, dividing the image into a plurality of strips, determining for each strip a total amount of marking material required to print the strip on the receiving medium, ejecting for each strip a first amount of the total amount of marking material on the receiving medium during a first pass, and ejecting for each strip a remaining amount of the total amount of marking material on the receiving medium during passes subsequent to the first pass, the method characterized in that a ratio of the first amount and the total amount of each strip is the same for the at least two multi-pass modes. The method is suitable for implementation in a reproduction apparatus.
