<p>A method of printing with an ink jet printer compensates for skewed printing on a print medium. An image area is defined on the print medium that has a plurality of rows of pixel locations and a plurality of columns of pixel locations. A printhead (30) includes a plurality of vertically adjacent ink emitting orifices (18) arranged in an array having a height. The printhead is scanned during first (42) and second (44) scans across the print medium in a direction transverse to the advance direction. The ink is jetted onto the print medium from the ink emitting orifices (18) during the first and second scans at selected ink dot placement locations generally corresponding to one of the columns (38, 40) of pixel locations. An offset is determined in a transverse direction between a bottom ink dot placement location associated with the first scan and a top ink dot placement location associated with the second scan. The ink dot placement locations associated with each swath is shifted by a predetermined amount to properly align the top dots of that swath with the bottom dots of the previously printed swath.</p> |
