Abstract:
1. A method for reducing visible artifacts among image pixels formed on recording media by a plurality of individually addressable recording channels, the method comprising: operating the recording channels to form a plurality of image pixel arrangements on the recording media, wherein each image pixel arrangement comprises a plurality of image pixel columns extending along a first direction and the image pixels columns in each image pixel arrangement are arranged along a second direction that intersects the first direction; operating the recording channels to form a first image pixel arrangement on the recording media; operating the recording channels to form a second image pixel arrangement on the recording media; overlapping a first image pixel column of the first image pixel arrangement with a second image pixel column of the second image pixel arrangement by an amount along the second direction that is determined based at least on a misalignment along the first direction between two of the image pixel arrangements; and operating the recording channels to scan radiation beams over the recording media while forming each of the first image pixel arrangement and the second image pixel arrangement, wherein the misalignment along the first direction corresponds to a positional misalignment between the radiation beams and the recording media.
