compensates for skewed printing on a print medium. An
image area (12) is defined on the print medium (14)
which has a plurality of rows (20) of pixel locations
and a plurality of columns (22) of pixel locations. A
printhead (10) includes a plurality of vertically
adjacent ink emitting orifices (18) arranged in an array
having a height. The printhead is scanned during first

(16). The ink is jetted onto the print medium (14) from
the ink emitting orifices during the first and second
scans at selected ink dot placement locations generally
corresponding to one of the columns (20) of pixel
locations. An offset is determined in a transverse
direction (24) between a bottom ink dot placement
location associated with the first scan and a top ink
dot placement location associated with the second scan.
The array of ink emitting orifices (18) is segmented
into at least two vertically adjacent segments of ink
emitting orifices. The ink dot placement locations
associated with at least one of the segments is shifted
in a direction (24) transverse to the advance direction
(16) a distance which is dependent upon the determined
offset. The ink dot placement locations associated with
at least one other of the segments remains unchanged.
Printing on the print medium is carried out using the
shifted ink dot placement locations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a microstrip line (4), based on the following steps: a) implanting high-energy light ions into a crystal, b) placing a mask over the surface (11.1) of said crystal, said mask defining strips, and c) etching a channel (41) into said surface (11.1) of the crystal. The ion implantation step (a) causes a layer (14) with a lower refractive index to form at a depth of a few micrometres below the surface of the crystal (11.1). This refractive index barrier (14) restricts the light in a direction perpendicular to the crystal surface (11.1). The side barriers (43.1 and 43.2) of the channel guide the light from the side.
