Abstract:
A method for printing raster data on a recording medium using a plurality of ink jet nozzles, the method comprising:(a) assigning first raster data of a first set of raster lines to the plurality of ink jet nozzles for printing during a first printing pass and second raster data of a second set of raster lines to the plurality of ink jet nozzles for printing during a second printing pass;(b) printing the first raster data during the first printing pass;(c) advancing the recording medium a particular distance;(d) printing the second raster data during the second printing pass; and(e) advancing the recording medium the particular distance,wherein each raster line is printed in a single printing pass, at least one raster line from either of the first and second set of raster lines is disposed between raster lines of the other set and steps (a) to (e) are repeated in order to print a first region of raster data on the recording medium.
