Ink-jet printers

摘要

A swath printing system such as multi-color inkjet printing which uses lower resolution printheads of at least 300 dpi nozzle spacing to achieve high resolution output of at least 600 dpi addressability in both the X (media advance) and Y (carriage scan) axes. A synchronized depletion mask for area fills is provided which is plot independent and prevents drop overlap. It is especially suited for multi-pass print modes since each row has a balanced number of pixels, and there are no rows which have no "on" pixels. <IMAGE>
