Method for reducing image quality artifacts in three-dimensional printing

摘要

A relief print master, such as a flexographic print master or sleeve is created by printing a sequence of intermediate layers on top of each other by means of an inkjet printing system. The top layer corresponds with the halftoned image that is to be printed by the print master and the lower intermediate layers are supporting layers. The pixels of the intermediate layers that are stacked on top of each other are printed with different nozzles to reduce image quality artifacts. Both a method and a system are described.
