Abstract:
A method of printing an image using a printing system having first and second overlapping printhead segments. The method includes the steps of: (i) identifying a strip of the image to be printed in an overlap region of the first and second printhead segments; (ii) determining a stitching technique for the first and second printhead segments; and (iii) printing the image using the first and second printhead segments, the printing including stitching the first and second printhead segments in the overlap region using the determined stitching technique. The stitching technique may be a butt stitch or a feathered stitch, dependent on image content in the strip.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of printing an image using a printing system comprising at least first and second overlapping printhead segments, the method comprising the steps of:\n (i) identifying a strip of the image to be printed in an overlap region of the first and second printhead segments; (ii) determining a stitching technique for the first and second printhead segments, the stitching technique being selected from the group consisting of:\n (a) printing using only nozzles from the first printhead segment at one side of a seam and printing using only nozzles from the second printhead segment at the other side of the seam; and \n (b) printing using nozzles from both the first and second printhead segments at either side of the seam, and \n (iii) printing the image using the first and second printhead segments, the printing comprising stitching the first and second printhead segments in the overlap region using the determined stitching technique, wherein the stitching technique is dependent on image content in the strip.
