METHOD OF PRINTING A GRAPHIC HAVING UNIFORM INK DENSITY ON AN EMULSION COATED PRINTING SCREEN

摘要

A method for printing a graphic having uniform ink density on selected pixel locations 58,58 of a printing screen 44 coated with a light sensitive emulsion 46 is provided. According to one embodiment of the invention, only some of the pixel locations are printed as required to form a desired image during the first pass of a printhead 48 across a strip of the emulsion coated screen 44. The remaining pixel locations are printed as required during a second pass of the printhead 48 across the strip. According to a second embodiment of the invention, a portion of the pixel locations in each strip are re-printed on the next succeeding pass of the printhead 48 across the screen 44.
