Publication number: 20210023839Abstract: A continuous inkjet printer includes a linear printhead having a cross-track printhead width that is wider than a cross-track image width. The linear printhead is characterized to determine an image quality level as a function of cross-track position. A segment of the linear printhead is designated wherein the image quality level within the designated segment of the linear printhead is acceptable. A translation mechanism is used to translate the linear printhead relative to the receiver medium such that the designated segment of the linear printhead is aligned with a region on the receiver medium where the image content is to be printed, and the image content is printed on the receiver medium using the designated segment of the linear printhead.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Terry Anthony Wozniak, Richard Mazur, Daniel B. Denofsky

Publication number: 20210023841Abstract: Image content is printed on a receiver medium using a continuous inkjet printer with a linear printhead. A plurality of segments of the linear printhead are designated at different cross-track positions. The linear printhead is translated relative to a receiver medium such that an initial segment of the linear printhead is aligned with a printing region on the receiver medium and the image content is printed using the initial segment of the linear printhead. When an image quality level of the printed image content is determined to fall below an acceptable level, the linear printhead is translated relative to the receiver medium such that a next segment of the linear printhead is aligned with the printing region and the image content using the next segment of the linear printhead.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Terry Anthony Wozniak, Richard Mazur, Daniel B.
