A method, system and apparatus for improving the image quality of a print job. In the method, a print job having a print length and a print width is initiated. The print job is paused in response to at least one of the print length and the print width exceeding a modifiable servicing interval. A service strip is printed and evaluated to determine whether the image quality of the print job is above a predetermined quality threshold. The print job is resumed in response to the print job being above the predetermined quality threshold. In the system, a printer is controlled by processor to initiate the print job, pause the print job, and print the service strip as required. The service strip is sensed by a sensor system and data associated with the sensing of the service strip is relayed to the processor for evaluation. In response to the print job being above the predetermined quality threshold, the printer is controlled by the processor to resume the print job. In the apparatus, a printhead, controlled by a controller, is configured to print the print job and the service strip on a print medium. A sensor senses the service strip and relays the data to the controller. In this regard, the controller is further configured to evaluate the service strip and, in response to the print job being above the predetermined quality threshold, control the printhead to resume the print job.
