    摘要: A method of printing an image in a fixed head printer system includes sensing a medium speed of a medium traveling in proximity to a plurality of ink printheads. A maximum optical density of the printer system at the sensed medium speed is determined. The firing frequency of the plurality of ink printheads is adjusted in response to a change in medium speed such that the maximum optical density of the printer system at the sensed medium speed is not exceeded.

    摘要: A technique for assessing nozzle health of a printhead nozzle array in a printing system includes printing a swath portion of an image, optically scanning the printed swath portion to capture a scanned image, comparing an expected image of the swath portion of the image with the scanned image, and assessing whether any nozzles of the nozzle array have malfunctioned. A sensor can be mounted on a printhead carriage to accomplish the image capture.

    摘要: When condition of a printing element (e.g. inkjet nozzle) changes, essentially full mask rows invoking the element are redone from scratch, best so as to fully satisfy pixel-grid neighbor conditions. This is faster than redoing a whole mask as in prior popup or precook /reheat methods, and yields better printouts than prior row-by-row mask revision (e.g. directly replacing a weak nozzle by a good one across whole rows). This method is best independent of prior mask versions, and uses no prebuilt matrix of backup/alternate entries. The number of rows redone is typically 7% to 14% below a nominal/baseline value.
