A method of printing a halftone image wherein a determined part of the halftone image is printed by a plurality of nozzles, arranged in one or more rows, of a liquid droplet generator , where the liquid droplet generator has at a first location in a manifold of the liquid droplet generator a liquid-sedimentation with highest density and wherein the manifold is - having a first inlet and second inlet for filling the manifold with a liquid; - elongated in parallel to the plurality of nozzles between the first inlet and second inlet ; and - configured to provide a liquid path for the liquid to the plurality of nozzles; wherein the part is determined for displacing the liquid-sedimentation to a second location in the manifold by using a printmask , having a width and height, which divides for a selected printing period the plurality of nozzles in minimum three sequential zones between the first inlet and second inlet comprising minimal for printing the determined part: - a first zone at the first inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the first zone are used for printing N1% of the part; and - a second zone at the middle of the first inlet and second inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the second zone are used for printing N2% of the part; and ; and - a third zone at the second inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the third zone are used for printing N3% of the part; whereby 100 >= N1 > N2 > N3 >= 0. where the liquid droplet generator has at a first location in a manifold of the liquid droplet generator a liquid-sedimentation with highest density and wherein the manifold is - having a first inlet and second inlet for filling the manifold with a liquid; - elongated in parallel to the plurality of nozzles between the first inlet and second inlet ; and - configured to provide a liquid path for the liquid to the plurality of nozzles; - having a first inlet and second inlet for filling the manifold with a liquid; - elongated in parallel to the plurality of nozzles between the first inlet and second inlet ; and - configured to provide a liquid path for the liquid to the plurality of nozzles; wherein the part is determined for displacing the liquid-sedimentation to a second location in the manifold by using a printmask , having a width and height, which divides for a selected printing period the plurality of nozzles in minimum three sequential zones between the first inlet and second inlet comprising minimal for printing the determined part: - a first zone at the first inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the first zone are used for printing N1% of the part; and - a second zone at the middle of the first inlet and second inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the second zone are used for printing N2% of the part; and ; and - a third zone at the second inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the third zone are used for printing N3% of the part; - a first zone at the first inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the first zone are used for printing N1% of the part; and - a second zone at the middle of the first inlet and second inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the second zone are used for printing N2% of the part; and ; and - a third zone at the second inlet wherein the printmask determines that the nozzles of the third zone are used for printing N3% of the part; whereby 100 >= N1 > N2 > N3 >= 0. <EOS>
