摘要： According to the present invention, multiple rows of nozzles within a print head may be arranged proximal to and offset from each other to facilitate inkjet printing. Print heads may comprise a single row of nozzles or may comprise a plurality of rows of nozzles. Each row of nozzles may be situated such that the immediately adjacent row of nozzles may be offset by a predetermined distance. In some embodiments, adjacent rows of nozzles may each print with the same color. In this way, adjacent offset rows of nozzles may be used in combination to dispense ink drops into sub-pixel wells in improved patterns and with improved ink distribution within the sub-pixel well. These offset print techniques may also enable tighter grouping of ink drops within a sub-pixel well and enable faster printing operations.
