Abstract: Embodiments of ink short detection are disclosed.

Abstract: A printer includes at least one controller having first mode configured to control printing of an image including a sequence of columns by controlling printing a first column in the sequence and a fourth column in the sequence with a first printhead, a second column in the sequence and a fifth column in the sequence with a second printhead, and a third column in the sequence and a sixth column in the sequence with a third printhead.

Abstract: An ink delivery system for a printer includes an ink reservoir, a printhead assembly, a pump configured to provide ink from the ink reservoir to the printhead assembly at a selected pressure, and a controller configured to adjust the selected pressure based on a characteristic of an image to be printed.

Abstract: Embodiments of delaying printing are disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments for distributing print density are disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments of printing using a subset of printheads are disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for printing includes selecting a nozzle for printing a pixel, determining a time since the nozzle was last actuated, and, if the time since the nozzle was last actuated exceeds a threshold time, then, before actuating the nozzle to print the pixel, actuating the nozzle a number of actuations corresponding to the time since the nozzle was last actuated.

Abstract: A method for splitting a print image data plane for printing with multiple printheads includes replicating the print image data plane into a plurality of print image data planes corresponding to the multiple printheads, linearizing the plurality of print image data planes, and half-toning the plurality of print image data planes, the half-toning being configured to convert the plurality of print image data planes into a n-plane image with interlaced columns, wherein n corresponds to the multiple printheads.
