Abstract: A method of controlling an inkjet printer when printing on a substrate that is to be shrink wrapped on to an object (10), by loading an image file on to a raster image processor; undertaking raster image processing on the loaded image file to generate raster image data for controlling discharge of ink droplets on to the substrate; receiving an indication of a shape (19) of the object (10); and manipulating the generated raster image data in response to the indication of the shape (19) of the object (10) to alter the distribution and/or size of droplets applied to the substrate to take into account anticipated changes (14) in a dimension (11, 12, 13) of the substrate due to shrinkage into contact with the object (10). Also a printer for carrying out the method.
