Abstract
An inkjet printing method, performed by an industrial inkjet system to form a decoration layer, includes the steps of printing copies of a decorative image with a printing unit on a substrate by transmitting consecutive bitmap rows of the decorative image to a printing unit, measuring dimensional changes in the substrate while printing copies of the decorative image, and compensating the dimensional changes while printing copies of the decorative image by one of: skipping at least one bitmap row of the decorative image upon dimensional expansion, or reprinting at least one bitmap row of the decorative image on the substrate upon dimensional shrink.
