MECHANICAL DITHERING OF PRINTING MECHANISMS

摘要

A system comprises a control module that communicates with a printhead having nozzles, that detects a malfunctioning nozzle, and that generates control signals when the malfunctioning nozzle is detected. A vibration generator selectively vibrates the printhead along a first axis of a print medium based on the control signals. The first axis is selected from a group consisting of parallel and perpendicular to a second axis of motion of the print medium.
