Patent ID: 8491075

Claim:
A method for operating a printer comprising: identifying a parameter associated with a first color separation for the print job; identifying a parameter associated with a second color separation for the print job; selecting a firing signal waveform for the first color separation of the print job that corresponds to the parameter identified for the first color separation; selecting a firing signal waveform for the second color separation of the print job that corresponds to the parameter identified for the second color separation; selecting a pressure for the first color separation of the print job that corresponds to the parameter identified for the first color separation; selecting a pressure for the second color separation of the print job that corresponds to the parameter identified for the second color separation; operating at least one ink ejection device in a first assembly of ink ejection devices that ejects ink having a color corresponding to the first color separation with reference to the firing signal waveform and the pressure selected for the first color separation; and operating at least one ink ejection device in a second assembly of ink ejection devices that ejects ink having a color corresponding to the second color separation with reference to the firing signal waveform and the pressure selected for the second color separation.
