Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
dispensing droplets of a liquid from a printhead of a printhead assembly of an inkjet printer onto a substrate;
positioning the substrate with respect to an imaging system coupled to the printhead assembly, the imaging system comprising a camera and an LED light source; and
imaging the droplets on the substrate by relatively scanning the substrate and the imaging system and strobing the LED light source, wherein strobing the LED light source comprises illuminating an area of the substrate for a duration selected to ensure any distortion from relative scanning of the camera and substrate is much less than a typical dimension of the droplets being imaged, and wherein strobing the LED light source further comprises activating the LED light source at a time when a previously un-imaged portion of the substrate is within a field of view of the camera.
