    Abstract: The invention is directed to compensating for imaging aberrations that result from repeated passes by an imaging laser array. The techniques described herein reduce the undesirable aberrations. In general, the techniques provide for printing a first line of image data and a set of contiguous lines as a function of the image data and a first mask. On a subsequent pass, these lines are overlapped. The line that overlaps the first line prints the image data again, but masked. The lines that overlap the contiguous lines print the image data normally.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to techniques for compensating for imaging aberrations that result from repeated passes by an imaging laser array. The techniques provide for printing overlapping swaths and providing masking for at least one printing pass. The masks generally expand and contract the breadth of the printing swath.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to compensating for imaging aberrations that result from repeated passes by an imaging laser array. The aberrations may result from swath lines formed by thermal heating and from the ruling and screen angle of the image. The techniques described herein reduce the undesirable aberrations in thermal laser generated images by breaking up and/or reducing the swath lines. In general, the techniques provide for overlapping swaths and providing masking for one or both passes that print the overlapped region.
