Abstract:
1. A method for operating an inkjet printer comprising: identifying a pattern of ink drops for ejection from an inkjet in the printer with reference to image data for a printed image; identifying a first waveform component adjustment value for a first electrical signal having a default non-zero first waveform component that operates the inkjet to eject a first ink drop in the pattern of ink drops with reference to at least a portion of the image data corresponding to the pattern of printed ink drops; and generating the first electrical signal with reference to the first identified waveform component adjustment value to change the non-zero default first waveform component for the first electrical signal to another non-zero first waveform component for the first electrical signal that operates the inkjet to eject the first ink drop in the pattern of ink drops at a first velocity onto a first location of an image receiving surface, the first velocity being a non-zero velocity that is different than a non-zero velocity corresponding to the non-zero default first waveform component.
