Abstract
Scan printing systems and methods for reducing banding artifacts of an image printed on a substrate, including a substrate feeder assembly, a printhead adapted to print an encoder pattern on the substrate, a sensor, and a controller. The controller performs a feedback cycle of positioning the substrate relative to the printhead and instructs the printhead to print a band of the image when the encoder pattern has reached a target position. The controller repeats the feedback cycle of positioning the substrate relative to the printhead and instructs the printhead to print a subsequent band of the image until the entire image is printed on the substrate.
