Printing apparatus and method

An inkjet printer prints swaths (14) which overlap by, typically, one eighth of their width at each edge, each edge region (16) having a reduced print density so that the combined density of the overlapping regions matches that of nonoverlapping central regions (16). In a first embodiment, each edge...

Zusammenfassung:An inkjet printer prints swaths (14) which overlap by, typically, one eighth of their width at each edge, each edge region (16) having a reduced print density so that the combined density of the overlapping regions matches that of nonoverlapping central regions (16). In a first embodiment, each edge region (16) is printed with 50% printing density. In a second embodiment, the printing mask is modified so that each edge region comprises two sub-regions with differing print densities, e.g. a first outer sub-region (25) with a printing density of 15% and a second sub-region (26) with a printing density of 85 %.
