Abstract
The intersheet gaps or spacings between successive sheets of copy paper for an ink jet printing system are set according to the print densities for sheets to be printed to enhance the operation of a sheet dryer within the printing system. The greater the print density, the greater the intersheet gaps such that sheets which are more heavily printed are effectively exclusively within the sheet dryer for a longer period of time and, hence, receive more of the available sheet dryer energy. The print densities are determined from image data which define images to be printed on the sheets by translating the data into the number of drops to be printed per image data word and accumulating the number of drops required to print each sheet by counting the resulting numbers of drops.
