Abstract
A method, computer program product and system for precision inkjet printing. A control variable vector of actuation parameters associated with an inkjet waveform is determined. A printhead is then actuated to eject a grid of droplets from an inkjet onto a substrate based on the inkjet waveform. An image of the grid of droplets on the substrate is acquired. The acquired image is then processed to calculate a fitness function of the inkjet waveform that includes a function of sensed output variables associated with printing characteristics. The control variable vector is then adjusted by updating its topology based on the fitness function to obtain an optimized control variable vector associated with an optimized inkjet waveform.
