Abstract
A method of inkjet printer operation indicates a need for a remedial printhead operation by predicting a number of inoperative inkjets and locations for the inoperative inkjets in at least one printhead in the inkjet printer at a predetermined time. The prediction is made using Markov chain Monte Carlo models that correspond to different ranges of area coverage density for inkjet areas of a printhead.
