METHOD AND PRINTER FOR MULTI-PASS PAGE-WIDE ARRAY PRINTING

摘要

A method of printing an image on a substrate using a page-wide-array printer and a page wide array printer is provided. The method comprises printing a first portion of the image as relative movement occurs between the substrate and the print heads, and printing a second portion of the image as relative movement occurs between the substrate and the print heads, such that there exists an area of overlap between the first portion of the image and the second portion of the image. The substrate may be moved in a first direction relative to the print heads whilst the first portion of the image is printed, moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and moved in the first direction again whilst the second portion of the image is printed. The substrate may be printed whilst the substrate is moved in the second direction.
