Abstract:
Herein is described a method involving a drop detector. The method may comprise: ejecting ink drops from the nozzles on a printhead toward a drop detector. A drop characteristic may then be determined from the drop detector for each ink-jet nozzle. Drop characteristics for the nozzles across the printhead may be collated into a data set, and compared with a predetermined data set for a printhead having predetermined print behaviour to determine if and how the data sets differ in terms of the pattern of drop characteristics across the printheads. If the data sets differ, a recovery strategy may be selected based how the data sets differ in terms of the pattern of drop characteristics across the printheads. A system and computer readable medium are also described herein.

Claim (Index 5):
The method according to  claim 3 , wherein if below a pre-determined proportion of nozzles of the printhead show a drop velocity that is lower than the drop velocity of the printhead having predetermined print behaviour, the energy supplied to the nozzles having this lower drop velocity is increased for the subsequent drop ejection.
