Claim 2:
3. The apparatus of claim 2, the controller being further configured to:
identify the distribution of the first quantization error, identify the number of material drops to be ejected to form the perimeter in the second object layer, and identify the second quantization error using the process represented by:
drops_accum=drops_float+drop_error;
drops_layer=floor(drops_accum+0.5);
drop_error=drops_accum−drops_layer, where drops_float is the non-integer number for the number of material drops or amount of drop mass to be ejected to form the perimeter, drops_accum is drops_float adjusted by the first quantization error, drops_layer is the number of material drops to be ejected to form the second object layer, the drop_error is the second quantization error, and the floor function identifies a lower integer number closest to a value for an argument for the function.
