    摘要: An apparatus has a plurality of printing cartridges to reproduce an image, wherein each printing cartridge prints a portion of the image onto a substrate. The apparatus further includes a media transport for moving the substrate parallel to a first dimension. The printing cartridges are disposed on a carrier in a two dimensional pattern such that the plurality of printing cartridges are able to print on the substrate a line that is perpendicular to the first dimension. Fewer than half of the plurality printing cartridges that print segments of the line that abut each other are adjacent to each other along the first dimension.

    摘要: The effective life of a printhead, such as an ink jet printhead, is extended, when printing repetitive images, by taking measures to change the printhead print elements (e.g. nozzles) that are fired to effect repetitive imaging at a desired location on the media. The nozzles can be changed, yet the repetitive images be provided at the same desired location on the media by one or more of: finishing the media after printing to take into account a new position of the images on the media to provide a proper finished media (e.g. by trimming a particular edge or edges); at spaced points in time moving the printhead relative to the media in the second dimension (e.g. substantially transverse to the first dimension); and/or at spaced points in time moving the media in the second dimension relative to the printhead. Where the position of the printhead is moved, that may be accomplished by utilizing a detented shaft, controlled by a knob, that rotates a mounting shaft of the printhead and effects linear movement of the printhead. One detented movement of the detented shaft may correspond to a one pixel movement of the printhead.
