Patent ID: 8201909

Claim:
An inkjet printing system for optimizing print quality at print speeds that are greater than a given print speed associated with a maximum frequency for ejecting ink drops from a printhead, comprising: a printhead in fluid communication with an ink source; at least a first column of a plurality of nozzles and a second column of a plurality of nozzles on the printhead for ejecting ink onto a print medium in droplet form and wherein each of the nozzles in the first column are spaced apart from one another, the nozzles in the second column are spaced apart from one another and each of the nozzles in the first column are vertically or horizontally offset relative to the nozzles in the second column and do not share a horizontal axis or vertical axis with any of the nozzles in the second column; and, at least one controller in electrical communication with the printhead that is configured to generate print control signals relative to the formation of one or more images on the print medium wherein ink from the first column of nozzles is ejected in alternating succession with the ejection of ink from the second column of nozzles wherein the one or more images are printed on the print medium in a single pass of the print medium and the printhead relative to one another.
