Abstract:
1. An array type inkjet printer system comprising: a print head having a plurality of nozzles formed therein in the horizontal scan direction, wherein a printing resolution of the array type inkjet printer system in a horizontal scan direction is defined by the plurality of nozzles formed in the print head in the horizontal scan direction, such that in a printing operation, the print head and/or a recording medium move relative to each other only in a vertical scan direction; a resolution adjusting unit that reduces a resolution of print data in the horizontal scan direction by a predetermined rate; a rendering unit that renders the print data according to the print data resolution adjusted by the resolution adjusting unit; and a scaler that scales the rendered print data such that a width of the scaled print data in the horizontal scan direction corresponds with the printing resolution of the array type inkjet printing system in the horizontal scan direction and such that when the scaled print data is printed, some of the nozzles in the horizontal scan direction are in a non-operating status.
