SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING INTER-COLOR BLEEDING IN LIQUID INK JET PRINTING

摘要

Printing systems and methods that reduce inter-color bleeding between da rk and light colored inks without losing productivity of a color ink jet printe r by distributing the: printing of a total amount of black ink required in a sing le swath over multiple passes while each of the color inks required for the same swath is printed in a single pass. For example, the print method may print a single swath by printing portions of the slow dry black ink in three passes while printing each of th e fast dry color inks in single passes.
