A printhead controller controls printing of a page by at least one printhead. The printhead controller, in use, receives data, in a compressed format relating to the page to be printed, the data including a page description comprising a bi-level black layer and a contone color layer. The printhead controller extracts from the compressed data relating to the bi-level black layer the contone color layer. Memory is provided for temporary storage of the expanded data. A dithering/compositing unit produces a ditherer page from the data temporally stored in the memory and feeds its out put to the printhead.
