    摘要: An inkjet printing system uses high-resolution printheads holding different color inks to produce true 600 dpi color printing with a single pass of the printheads. By achieving a smaller drop size in the range of 25-50 picoliters for each printhead having a separate ink color (yellow, cyan, magenta, black), a full range of high-resolution color print-quality modes is possible. In an exemplary embodiment with a carriage scan speed of 25 ips, a two-pass draft mode uses a 7.5 kHz firing frequency, a four-pass normal mode uses a 4 kHz firing frequency, and an eight-pass best mode uses a 2 kHz firing frequency. In all of these print modes, each printhead can provide color inkdrop placement on every pixel row during a single pass.

    摘要: Bidirectional scanning printheads discharge color-ink drops at ultrahigh resolution while scanning in each direction, to form color swaths on a print medium. The heads are at least partially aligned with respect to the longitudinal axis of the medium, so that the swaths at least partly overlap in that direction. An advance mechanism intermittently steps the print medium longitudinally, to enable displacement of successive swaths. A control system alternates (1) one full reciprocation of the heads, to discharge drops while scanning each way across the medium, with (2) each step of the advance mechanism. Preferably the heads print, while scanning each way, a respective generally fixed nonzero fraction of the total amount of each secondary color to be printed. In this way the overall appearance of each secondary is essentially consistent and partway between two appearances respectively produced by scanning two ways. This invention avoids the long-printzone drawbacks associated with full-height-staggered heads. Preferably the fractions for all the swaths are about equal, so that the consistent appearance for each secondary is essentially the average of two appearances respectively produced by scanning two ways. Various printmasks complete each swath in eight passes with four print-medium advances, or four passes and two advances, or two and one—in each case printing in every pass.

    摘要: Scanning printheads form a color image as inkdrops in a pixel grid on a print medium. Pixel row spacing equals nozzle pitch. Apparatus holds and provides (or creates in real time) a printmask using location rules that prevent addressing, within each scan, immediately neighboring pixels in any horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction. The mask is applied to control the heads. In other aspects of the invention, the rules also prevent addressing, in each scan, horizontally neighboring pixels within the entire width of the mask; or vertically neighboring pixels within its entire height; or immediate neighbors in any direction across a boundary--horizontal, vertical, or either--between abutting masks. Specific masks are set forth implementing these aspects. Another form of the invention yields a two-pass mask with this pass-number pattern: ##EQU1## Another form is a mask-creating-and-using method: generate a number series to define rows/columns of a pixel grid for printing in successive head passes, test the numbers against rules to minimize ink coalescence, and accumulate the numbers as an array to define a pixel grid--all automatically. Also check performance of arrays so generated, select a preferred one, and store it in a tangible medium for later automatic recall to control a printer.

    摘要: A program with complete conditions for a usable mask yields a unitary mask, each try. One mask pattern is used throughout an image, but may be “tiled”. Preferably the program, for given mask position, expresses favorability of several candidate pass numbers as a “neighborhood constraint” in the form of a weight; distills the weights into one weight for each pass number; based on that, chooses a number for the position; and iterates for all positions. Many preferences are very useful, e.g. automatically balancing randomness vs. determinism, and several generalized relative notations. Another invention facet uses an input text file of mask constraints; a program reads constraints from the file, applies them, forms a mask and stores/uses it. Another reprocesses a mask for best image quality, fixing its own imperfections of first-round mask forming.
