  • Patent number: 11535029
    Abstract: An example of a printing system is disclosed. The example disclosed herein comprises a plurality of nozzles and a controller. The plurality of nozzles is to eject a printing agent on a substrate to print a print job. The controller is to receive the print job comprising an outline and a fill area to be printed. The controller is also to define a first subset of the plurality of nozzles as a first printing mode to print the outline. The controller is further to define a second subset of the plurality of nozzles as a second printing mode to print the fill area, wherein the second subset comprises more nozzles than the first subset. The controller is further to print the print job based on the first printing mode and the second printing mode.

  • Patent number: 9628651
    Abstract: A method of printing a document using one of a plurality of print modes, the method comprising: (i) notionally dividing a digital image of the document into sectors; (ii) for each sector, comparing one or more properties of the luminosity of pixels within each sector with one or more threshold values; (iii) using the comparison of (ii) to determine whether each sector is likely to show an image defect if printed at a lower image quality print mode; (iv) selecting a print mode such that all sectors are determined not to be likely to show an image defect; (v) printing the document using the determined print mode.
